AC Milan were trying to sign Schalke’s Ozan Kabak during this past transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio on the Here We Go podcast.
The player finally ended up joining Premier League champions Liverpool on deadline day in what is being reported as a 6-month loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the season.
Another deal at Milano was apparently linked with this one, according to the Italian transfer insiders. Had city rivals Inter sold their centre-back option Milan Skriniar to Tottenham Hotspur during the summer, they would have surely signed Ozan Kabak.
But the player stayed so there was no deal on the table for Ozan Kabak from either Milan club. No January move for Skriniar will be considered by the Nerazzurri either. Milenkovic of Fiorentina was another option for Inter because his contract expires in one year and he won’t extend his current deal with La Viola. An eye will be kept on him for the summer mercato.
AC Milan turned their attention later to Mohamed Simakan of Strasbourg, but the French 20 year-old defender picked up an injury and later chose to join RB Leipzig. The Rossoneri then shifted their sights to sign Chelsea’s Fikayo Tomori on a loan move with an option to buy.
