AC Milan have reportedly joined the race to sign Udinese midfielder Lazar Samardzic this summer.
The 22-year-old Serbia international is also attracting interest from Nottingham Forest, Lazio and Fenerbahce.
Lazar Samardzic, who joined Udinese from RB Leipzig in 2021 for €3 million, has Serie A experience and is seen as a promising talent.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that AC Milan view him as a cheaper alternative to AS Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana, with Samardzic expected to cost just under €20 million including add-ons, compared to Fofana’s €25 million valuation.
With a contract running until June 2026, Samardzic is eager to move on from Udinese, who struggled to avoid relegation last season.
