AC Milan join race for Anderlecht star

AC Milan have joined the race to sign Anderlecht star forward Aleksandar Mitrovic, as they aim to sign a centre-forward, with Mattia Destro on his way back to Roma.

The 20-year-old Serbian international has been in impressive form this term for the Belgian champions and has been attracting interest from clubs throughout Europe, with Serie A clubs Roma and Fiorentina also being among the clubs keen on signing him.

According to Tuttosport, Milan have joined Fiorentina, Roma, Sporting and Benfica in the race to sign the Serbian youngster and will have to present an offer between €12-14 million to convince the club from the Belgian capital to sell the player.

The Turin-based newspaper also points out that it is very unlikely that Milan will buy out Destro from Roma, which is why they are seeking a new striker to strengthen their attack.
