GdS: Milan targeting Bayern Munich talent after Arizala coup – the situation

AC Milan are hoping to secure a second signing for the future after sealing a deal for Juan Arizala from Independiente Medellin, a report clams.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report, the January transfer window is approaching, and Milan are moving decisively towards signing a couple of very young players. The first, as mentioned, should be Arizala from Colombia for €3m.

However, the news is that the Rossoneri are now targeting Adin Licina, who is on his way out of Bayern Munich. These two budding talents will likely initially be developed with Milan Futuro, with the hope that one day not too far away they will find their natural place in the first team.

Like Yildiz?

Licina is a 2007-born player from Landshut, about an hour’s drive from the Allianz Arena, but he is of Montenegrin origin. A quality left-footed player, he can play right wing or as a more central playmaker.

He is managed by Leaderbrock, the same agency that brought another young talent from Bayern’s youth system – Kenan Yildiz – to Juventus. The precedent inspires optimism, and it’s no coincidence that Juventus, along with Inter, have interest in Licina.

Licina is considered a promising prospect with a secure future, so much so that he was brought into the first team by Vincent Kompany for the summer training camp. However, injury and the extremely high level of competition prevented him from finding playing time.

He still managed 15 appearances for Bayern II (the second team), with one goal and five assists. Licina also made a name for himself in the Youth League with a goal and an assist.

The idea of ​​a move in January is also supported by Bayern, who – while wanting to maintain control of the player – are aware of how beneficial a transfer could be to his career. Many clubs have come knocking, like Sporting CP and Real Sociedad in addition to the Italian clubs.

Milan have been following Licina for some time and could now strike a deal with the Bavarians. We are still in the preliminary phase of negotiations, but the idea is that it could be a low-cost fee with a high resale clause or potentially even a buy-back in Bayern’s favour.
