Atletico Madrid look to old and new Milan midfield targets | OneFootball

Diario AS in Spain reports that Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, previously linked with Milan, has been offered to Atletico Madrid, yet the Colchoneros are also interested in Morten Hjulmand, another player on the Rossoneri’s radar.

Milan and Atletico Madrid’s transfer strategies could be intertwined in the central midfield.

Milan targets wanted by Atletico Madrid

The latest report from Diario AS, in fact, claims that Goretzka has been offered to the Spanish side on a free transfer.

Back in April, Gazzetta reported that Goretzka had given the green light to join Milan this summer, but there have been no fresh developments in recent weeks, possibly also due to Massimiliano Allegri’s sacking.

The Italian tactician, in fact, is said to be a long-time admirer of Goretzka, who announced his departure from Bayern Munich as a free agent months ago.

According to AS, Atletico are currently assessing Goretzka but have also set their sights on another Milan target, Sporting CP star Hjulmand.

A former Lecce midfielder, Hjulmand played under new Milan coach Amorim at Sporting CP and for this reason there have been recent reports regarding the Rossoneri’s interest in the Dane.

Milan will be looking for midfield reinforcement later this summer as Matteo Moretto has reported that the Rossoneri’s priority for the coming weeks will be to sign a new central defender.
