Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara are reportedly keeping a close eye on Hellas Verona talent Ivan Ilic as Lazio consider a possible move.
The Rossoneri are still looking to pick up a new midfielder this month following the departure of Franck Kessie and they’re considering a number of options after they failed to secure Renato Sanches. Recent reports suggest that Milan are following Verona’s Adrien Tamèze, and now it seems as if they’re considering a teammate of his as well.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, Maldini and Massara are carefully considering making a move for Ilic, either this summer or in the future should he not make the move to Lazio at some point this month.
The former Manchester City talent impressed last season for the Gialloblu, scoring one goal and providing four assists in 32 Serie A appearances. His work saw Lazio, as well as some German clubs, start following him with particular attention.
The Biancocelesti are unlikely to make a move until they finalise the sale of Luis Alberto to Sevilla, and if this doesn’t happen then Milan would seemingly have the edge.
