TBR: Milan interested in ‘Neuer successor’ but face competition from Inter and Man Utd

Considering the situation with Mike Maignan, AC Milan are browsing the mercato for different goalkeepers, and one idea has emerged.

There has been considerable scouting recently in the goalkeeper department, with Maignan’s situation not getting better. With his form improving back to his best, the Frenchman is one of the renewal priorities.

However, he has shown no interest thus far, so a new contract looks hard to picture. So, the club are looking for a new idea.

German Maignan replacement?

There have been several names linked so far, with Elia Caprile and Zion Suzuki both being named as possible targets, but they are not alone on the list.

As TBR Football reports, the Rossoneri have a keen eye on Noah Atubolu, the 23-year-old German goalkeeper, who currently plays for Freiburg. This season, he has kept two clean sheets in the Bundesliga and is seen as the successor to Manuel Neuer for the national team.

The number one spot is seemingly his for the future, and he could even be their starting option next summer at the World Cup.

This may create difficulties – strong performances increase valuation – but some already exist. Inter and Manchester United are also both interested in the young German, with the latter watching him several times this season.
