AC Milan are closing in on signing Sporting CP striker Conrad Harder, with a new meeting scheduled between the player’s agent and Milan directors. At the same time, Dusan Vlahovic’s potential transfer seems increasingly unlikely.
Milan’s transfer activities are heating up as the club nears a deal with Sporting CP for striker Conrad Harder.
According to reports, Milan has agreed to meet Sporting CP’s €27 million asking price, paving the way for Harder to join the Rossoneri. A new meeting is set to take place today between Harder’s agent and Milan directors, which could potentially seal the deal.
The interest in Harder comes after Milan’s attempt to sign Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen hit a snag due to concerns over the Nigerian international’s fitness. Boniface’s medical tests revealed problems with his right knee, prompting Milan to refocus on Harder.
Milan director Igli Tare met with coach Massimiliano Allegri and Harder’s representatives on Sunday, a day after the team’s disappointing 2-1 loss to Cremonese in the season opener. Harder, a 20-year-old Danish international, has been linked to several clubs, including Rennes, Fiorentina, and Chelsea.
Dusan Vlahovic, Allegri’s priority target, seems increasingly out of reach after scoring a goal for Juventus in their 2-0 win over Parma. This development makes it even more challenging for Milan to secure Vlahovic’s services in the final week of the transfer window. Other players, such as Tolu Arokodare from Genk and Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea, are being considered as backup options.
However, Harder remains the top priority for Milan. The club is eager to finalize the deal, with reports suggesting that Harder’s agent is optimistic about the transfer. If successful, Harder’s arrival would strengthen Milan’s attack and provide a much-needed boost to the team’s lineup.
In the midst of these transfer dealings, Milan will look to bounce back from its disappointing season opener. With new signings and a refreshed lineup, the team will aim to make a strong impression in the upcoming matches.
