According to Sky Sport Italia, Mirabelli will be in the stands of a Bundesliga match on Sunday between Hoffenheim and Hamburger SV.

The main target he’ll be watching is German international midfielder Rudy, whose contract with Hoffenheim is due to expire at the end of the season.

This is not the first time that Milan have been linked with Rudy, reportedly using Italy’s friendly with Germany on Tuesday to make contact with his entourage.

The 26-year-old has 12 senior caps for Germany and his price-tag is believed to be in the region of €6m.

There are other TSG Hoffenheim players on the Rossoneri’s watch-list, such as 22-year-old left-back Toljan, who came up through the academy.

Süle is a 21-year-old centre-back who already has one senior cap for Die Mannschaft.

Despite playing as a defender, Süle has scored one goal and provided one assist in 10 competitive matches this season.
