AC Milan has swiftly moved to secure highly-touted Balkan forward Andrej Kostic from Partizan. The teenage sensation is scheduled for a medical examination on Friday, finalizing his permanent transfer to the Italian giants.
Born in 2007, the Montenegrin talent is expected to join Milan at the end of the current season for an estimated fee of €3 million, as reported by TMW. He will initially be placed in Milan Futuro, the club’s reserve squad, as part of a strategic development plan.
Milan has been monitoring Kostic for several months and accelerated their efforts to sign him, fending off interest from competing clubs.
Kostic Joins Milan’s Youth-Focused Strategy
This acquisition aligns with Milan’s wider strategy of identifying and securing promising young talent from emerging markets before their market value escalates. Kostic is widely regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in the region.
The club’s intention is to gradually develop Kostic within their system, with the ultimate goal of integrating him into the senior squad.
As a young prospect, he has ample time for development, and the club is not looking to rush his progress beyond what is suitable for his age.
This move represents a shrewd and forward-thinking piece of business by sporting director Igli Tare – a low-risk, high-potential investment expected to yield significant returns in the future.
