When the young Montenegrin striker Andrej Kostić, born in 2007, was officially announced as a new AC Milan player on 31 March, the club's statement emphasised that he would be part of the Milan Futuro project. However, that remains to be seen, as Kostić has been called up by Ruben Amorim for the first team's pre-season training camp.
Since Monday, he has been training with the senior squad, sharing the centre-forward role with Francesco Camarda. The pair are expected to lead the attack, at least in the first pre-season friendly against Celtic.
Kostić determined to earn his place
Whether his immediate future lies with Milan Futuro or on loan in Serie B to gain regular playing time remains uncertain. What is clear, according to MilanNews.it, is that the player is not paying attention to transfer rumours or speculation. Instead, he is fully focused on his daily work at Milanello, seeing it as a genuine opportunity to impress Amorim and his coaching staff. The young Montenegrin's ambition is to do enough to earn a permanent place in the first-team squad.
