Athekame is ready for Milan move at 10m including bonus
Milan Closes in on Young Boys Starlet Athekame for €10M
Swiss Right-Back Eager to Make Move to Serie A
Milan is poised to bolster its defensive line with the acquisition of talented Young Boys right-back Zachary Athekame. The club has been locked in negotiations, aiming to secure a deal worth between €7-8m plus performance-related bonuses, ultimately reaching the targeted €10m asking price.
While the transfer isn't finalized, sources indicate the agreement is nearing completion.
Atekame Pushes for Move
Young Boys initially had no pressing need to sell Athekame, but Milan's interest sparked a shift in the situation. The young defender has expressed his strong desire to join the Rossoneri, viewing this opportunity as an invaluable stepping stone in his career.
Affordable Alternative Secures Milan's Target
The €10m price tag for Athekame represents a significant contrast to Milan's previous pursuit of Strasbourg's Guela Doué. The French club's €30m valuation forced the Italian side to explore alternative options, leading them to Athekame as a more attainable target.
Milan's relentless efforts in securing this deal demonstrate their commitment to strengthening their squad and capitalizing on promising talent.
