AC Milan are thinking of affordable ways to reinforce the attacking dynamism in the coming mercato for Stefano Pioli's squad. One of the names on the notebooks is: Josip Ilicic from Atalanta.
According to the latest news provided by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the first club that thought of the Slovenian offensive playmaker is indeed AC Milan a few months ago.
The player is followed with great care by the Rossoneri club and already lives in Milano, he would actually appreciate a move to Il Diavolo, as per the report.
To let go Ilicic, Atalanta does not plan to give any discounts for the sale, and Milan does not seem willing to spend much money to secure his services.
Josip's favourite destination remains Milan, but he would not close the door for an opportunity in Rome. Actually, Lazio is very interested in the player and wants to sign him to improve the team.
Ilicic would be a good option for the Rossoneri as he can replace Hakan Calhanoglu, if he were to leave, and he can occupy the right flank instead of Samu Castillejo or Alexis Saelemaekers, concluded the source.
