AC Milan leading race to sign Real Madrid forward Luka Jovic?

Ac Milan have reportedly held discussions with Real Madrid regarding the potential signing of Luka Jovic.

After a dismal first campaign at the Bernabeu, Jovic has been made available for transfer, preferably on loan due to Real being unable to recoup the £54m fee which they shelled out on the Serbia international last summer.

A number of Premier League clubs, including Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur, have been credited with an interest in the 22-year-old.

However, according to Tuttosport, Milan and Real officials spoke about Jovic when closing off a deal for Brahim Diaz.

The report suggests that Milan are in the market for an alternative to veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who recently opted to extend his stay at San Siro by a further 12 months.

Due to their planned financial outlay on other targets, the Italian giants would prefer to sign a younger player on a temporary basis.
