Milan open talks with Alajbegović's agents as Roma face rising competition
AC Milan have entered the race for Kerim Alajbegović, the Bayer Leverkusen winger, and have held positive first discussions with the player's representatives. Milan have been monitoring the Bosnian prospect since March, when Moncada watched him during Wales–Bosnia, and are now ready to open formal negotiations with Leverkusen. The move intensifies competition for the 2007-born talent, whom Roma have tracked for weeks as Gian Piero Gasperini seeks forward reinforcements. Roma and Atalanta are also pursuing the 19-year-old, with Atalanta having initiated early contact to attempt to bypass rival clubs. Zlatan Ibrahimović, Milan's sporting figurehead, has reportedly approved the investment in Alajbegović. Roma have resumed their own contacts and received Gasperini's green light for the deal. The operation is valued at approximately €30 million, a significant fee for such a young talent but one reflecting his status among Europe's most promising emerging wingers. Alajbegović has become one of the hottest names in the Italian transfer market this window, with at least three Serie A sides vying for his signature.
