AC Milan have added Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra to their list of potential targets for the summer (h/t journalist Gianluca Di Marzio).
The Rossoneri are looking to revolutionise their midfield in the summer transfer window following the departure of Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City.
The Italian giants have received around €50 million from the sale of the Dutch midfielder and plan to reinvest it in new signings.
Real Madrid legend Luka Modric is expected to sign his contract with Milan in the coming days on a free transfer.
Milan are also preparing for the departure of midfielder Yunus Musah, who is inching towards joining Napoli in a deal worth €25 million.
Guerra has emerged as Milan’s latest target after showing incredible consistency at Valencia.
Coming through the never-ending pipeline of talent from the famed Mestalla academy, Guerra has been one of the bright spots for Valencia in their dark days.
The 21-year-old has been a key cog in Los Che’s engine room, helping them push for a European place this season before they fell short.
A talented midfielder with an excellent passing range and dribbling prowess, Guerra has caught the attention of several European heavyweights.
He is currently representing Spain at the European U21 Championship, and produced an impressive display in the win against Slovakia in the opening game.
Guerra came close to joining Atletico Madrid last summer when there were doubts about Conor Gallagher’s transfer, but the deal fell through.
The Spanish youngster’s contract has a release clause worth €100 million, which runs until 2027, but he can be acquired for around €30m.
Milan have lined up Bayer Leverkusen’s Granit Xhaka and Torino’s Samuel Ricci as potential midfield targets. They are also keeping tabs on Club Brugge’s Ardon Jashari.
