CorSport: Milan receive contact from Samardzic – work continues ‘with the lights off’ | OneFootball

AC Milan have not given up on the idea of signing Lazar Samardzic from Udinese and they received word from the player yesterday, a report claims.

While Milan have signed Alvaro Morata and Strahinja Pavlovic to reinforce the attack and the defence, the feeling is that the midfield is incomplete with a more defensive-minded player needed, and potentially another creative presence who fits Paulo Fonseca’s ideas of build-up play.

According to Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) this morning, the contacts over Samardzic are still alive and in the last few hours Milan have received new reassurances from the Udinese man about his desire to move to the Rossoneri.

The Serbian attacking midfielder has already given the ok to the transfer and did so several days ago but wanted to reiterate his choice. Now, however, it is up to Milan to find a meeting point with Udinese who are naturally looking for the best deal.

The directors are reportedly working with their counterparts on the transfer ‘with the lights off’, looking for the best possible offer. The idea of ​​​​introducing counterparts has been declined by Udinese at the moment, but it could come back into fashion as a solution later in the month.
