Milan reportedly close on Club Brugge talent Lang

Milan are reportedly the favourites to sign Club Brugge winger Noa Lang, with the Dutch international costing circa €20m.

According to Sportitalia transfer news reporter Rudy Galetti, Lang has his heart set on the Rossoneri and is ready to accept a five-year contract worth just under €3m per season.

Club Brugge are asking for €20m to sell the player, who turns 23 next month and has three senior caps for the Netherlands under his belt.

Lang’s tactical versatility is what particularly draws Milan to him, as primarily he is a left-sided winger, but can also play on the right or as a centre-forward.

He was purchased from Ajax in 2021 for €6m after a one-season loan.

This season, he has contributed nine goals and 15 assists in 48 competitive appearances for Club Brugge.

Milan are likely to beat competition from Leeds United, West Ham United and other Premier League sides who won’t be in the Champions League.

It’s true he might not be given quite as much first-team football with Rafael Leao already on the left, but his versatility certainly gives him options.
