"This evening, it has been reported that AC Milan have begun to make a move for a Croatian defender currently playing for Bayern Munich's youth squad. It is no secret that Milan are looking to sign a defender this month, but they are not just focusing on the first team. Already, they have tried to make a move for Juwensley Onstein, and with that move breaking down, they have begun to pursue another target."
"So, as Fabrizio Romano reports, the new name in focus is Ljubo Puljic, the 18-year old defender currently playing for FC Bayern II. Considered a talent for the future, it is probable that he would head straight to the Milan Futuro project. With the move for Onstein, who was deemed one of the most exciting Dutch talents available currently, breaking down, it is clear that the Rossoneri are looking to get ahead of time and invest in potential sooner rather than later."
AC Milan have opened talks to sign 18-year-old Croatian defender Ljubo Puljic from FC Bayern II. Puljic is considered a long-term talent and is likely to join the Milan Futuro development project rather than the first team immediately. Milan pursued Juwensley Onstein earlier in the window, but that move collapsed, prompting the club to accelerate investment in younger prospects. Puljic’s experience with Bayern’s second team should shorten his embedding period at Milan and ease adaptation. Several other clubs are also reportedly interested, so the transfer is expected to face competition and would not be straightforward.
