“Significant Setback for Spurs as Another Prominent Player Seeks Exit Following Recent Bid from European Giants.
Tottenham forward Dejan Kulusevski is drawing attention from top European clubs, with AC Milan emerging as the latest potential suitor.
According to Juve Live, AC Milan advisor and Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic is eager to bring Kulusevski to the San Siro. Ibrahimovic admires the young talent and sees him as a key addition, especially as the club plans for life after Rafael Leao, who remains a target for several major European teams.
AC Milan is reportedly prepared to make a bid of around €50 million for Kulusevski. However, with his contract at Tottenham running until 2028, it is unlikely that the club would consider any offers without a significant increase.
Kulusevski joined Spurs in 2022 on an 18-month loan from Juventus, and after impressing, he was signed permanently for £25 million in 2023. Despite facing injury challenges in his second season, he has rejuvenated his form under manager Ange Postecoglou this year, excelling in a new midfield role.
This season, Kulusevski has contributed 2 goals and 1 assist in 9 league matches, bringing his total for Tottenham to 17 goals and 21 assists in 109 appearances. While his statistics may seem modest, his underlying metrics highlight his impact: he ranks sixth in shot-creating actions per 90 minutes, fourth in key passes, and is among the top players in progressive carries.
His performances have garnered praise, with former player Wright-Phillips even comparing him to Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp. Losing a player of Kulusevski’s caliber would be a major blow for Spurs, as his vision and playmaking abilities are crucial to Postecoglou’s tactical plans.
