AC Milan are on Matija Popovic's trail. The young attacking midfielder is highly technical and is pleasing to watch for the Rossoneri scouts.
Standing at 196 centimeters, he exudes pure class, as demonstrated with both the Partizan jersey and the Serbian youth national teams. AC Milan has been pursuing the 2006-born talent for some time and hopes to soon finalize a very interesting deal for the future, writes Calciomercato.com.
Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D'Ottavio, in fact, have worked decisively with Popovic's father and they are in a good position in the negotiations.
The final details need to be ironed out to define the agreement; Matija could join the Rossoneri on a free transfer as his contract with Partizan Belgrade expires on December 31.
The AC Milan management is cautious right now, because anything can happen until the signatures are on the contracts, especially given the fact that Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and FC Barcelona are also interested in the Serbian star.
The source writes, however, that a 'significant' part of the work has been done and the Rossoneri are closing in on signing Popovic on a free transfer.
