AC Milan Close Deal for Andrej Kostić: The Young Serbian Striker Is a New Rossoneri Player
AC Milan have officially completed the signing of Andrej Kostić, a young striker born in 2006 from Partizan Belgrade. The 19-year-old forward was already in Milan yesterday to undergo the customary medical examinations at the La Madonnina clinic, the traditional medical facility used for new Rossoneri signings.
The Financial Details: From €10 Million to €3 Million – A Smart Move
The deal was completed for approximately €3 million, a figure significantly lower than the €10 million Partizan demanded back in January, when Milan first attempted to bring the player to Italy without success. According to some sources, the Serbian club had reportedly asked up to €15 million from other interested clubs. This contained price represents a calculated risk for the Rossoneri management, considering the player’s young age and significant room for growth.
Kostić Secured for June: He Will Start with Milan Futuro
Milan’s plan is clear: the Serbian striker has been secured for June. After completing his medical, Kostić will return to Serbia to finish the season with Partizan, where he has already scored 10 goals for the first team – impressive numbers for a player of just 19 years old. Upon his permanent arrival in Milan, the youngster will begin his journey with Milan Futuro, the club’s project dedicated to developing young talents.
The Outlook: A Talent Ready for the Big Step?
Several insiders and Serbian football experts speak very highly of the player. Despite his initial placement in Milan Futuro, Kostić’s potential is such that, according to those who know him well, a move to the first team could come sooner rather than later, depending on the progress he shows on the pitch. It will be his daily work at Milanello that determines how quickly he rises through the ranks.
Same Agent as Vlahović: Two Separate Negotiations
An interesting detail: Kostić is represented by the same agent as Dušan Vlahović, the Juventus striker who Milan reportedly have on their radar. The two deals, however, are on completely separate tracks, especially as Juventus are working on a contract renewal for their Serbian forward. The relationship between the agent and the Rossoneri could nonetheless serve as a privileged channel for potential future developments.
Interest from the Premier League and Bundesliga
Milan were not the only club tracking Kostić: several Premier League and Bundesliga clubs – particularly RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart – had also enquired about the young striker. However, the player’s preference proved decisive: upon learning of Milan’s interest, Kostić set aside the other offers, showing a clear desire to join the Rossoneri project. A strong signal of motivation from a young man who dreams of establishing himself at the highest level.
