According to a source, AC Milan are ‘confident’ that they will win the Europe-wide competition to sign striker Matija Popovi on a free transfer from Partizan Belgrade.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing column for CaughtOffside, Milan are in advanced talks to sign Partizan’s 17-year-old Serbian sensation Popovi.
He would be a free agent in January because his present contract expires at the end of the current calendar year, and a renewal does not appear to be on the horizon with the adolescent eager to try something new.
According to Romano, there are’multiple clubs interested’ in signing Popovi, but Milan ‘are leading the race and are optimistic of getting a deal done soon’.
Popovi can also operate as an offensive midfielder or anywhere along the front line. Last season, he had 20 goals and five assists in 24 games for Partizan’s U17 team, demonstrating his promise.
