Milan nearing move for Young Boys talent Zachary Athekame

Milan Sets Sights on Young Boys Star Athekame

€7 Million Offer Submitted as Rossoneri Close In on Right-Back Target

Serie A powerhouse AC Milan appears poised to land promising young talent Zachary Athekame from Swiss club Young Boys.

After shifting focus away from Strasbourg's Gela Doue due to cost concerns, Milan has made significant strides in securing the highly-rated right-back. The Rossoneri have been closely monitoring Athekame for some time and have now submitted an offer of €7 million to Young Boys.

Personal terms are reportedly already agreed upon. While Athekame was also presented to Udinese and Bologna, he has expressed a clear preference for joining Milan. The club anticipates finalizing the deal as early as tomorrow. Bonuses are expected to play a crucial role in securing the transfer.

This acquisition could benefit significantly from Igli Tare's strong existing relationship with Young Boys, a factor that may prove particularly important next week should the transfer fee be accepted.
