AC Milan eye Bundesliga star
According to various reports, new AC Milan director of sport Massimo Mirabelli has set sights on Karim Bellarabi and Julian Brandt who are both under contract with Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
Bellarabi, in particular, is a long-time target of Mirabelli who had been scouting him during his time as Inter chief scout. The 26-year-old winger scored 30 goals and registered 32 assists in 121 appearances over the last two campaigns, but a serious muscle injury has been affecting the 2016-17 campaign of the Germany International who is out of action since the 10th of September and will probably return to the pitch in 2017.
Bellarabi’s price-tag was € 25 million last summer, but Bayer Leverkusen could request less money in the January window, given the player’s poor fitness.
