Milan keen on Feyenoord duo with Juventus rivaling for centre-back | OneFootball

Milan are keeping a close eye on two Feyenoord players, although they know that signing one of them in particular would mean beating stiff competition from Juventus and other European clubs.

The Rossoneri have frequently looked to the Eredivisie in recent seasons for potential reinforcements, and the signing of Tijjani Reijnders from AZ Alkmaar has proven to be one of their most successful moves, with his €20m fee now looking more than reasonable given the considerable potential the midfielder is showing.

In January, the Diavolo also brought in Santiago Gimenez from the Dutch league, but the striker might not be the last Feyenoord player to make the switch to San Siro.

Feyenoord duo on Milan’s Radar, but Juventus pose threat for Hancko

According to Calciomercato.com, Milan were impressed by Juventus target David Hancko during their two-legged clash in the Champions League knockout play-off, and have reportedly made enquiries about a possible transfer.

However, they’ve learned that the Slovakian centre-back is not only on the Bianconeri’s radar, as other European clubs—particularly Bayer Leverkusen—are also said to be keen on signing him.

Negotiations may be more straightforward for Zepiqueno Redmond, a talented 18-year-old forward whom the Rossoneri have been monitoring for over a year. Their initial approach was blocked by Feyenoord’s €6m asking price.

Nevertheless, Milan have not dropped their interest and could consider a renewed attempt to sign both players in the summer.
