AC Milan have sent their chief scout to Turkey to closely investigate the 23-year-old defender's rising star.
It is no secret that Serie A giants Rossoneri need to reinforce the team's centre-back position, and with The Danish international Kyal seriously injured and captain Romagnoli's contract expiring, Pioli's side will restructure their backline this summer. In addition, the team's youth youngster Gabia may also be loaned by the club management next season to get stable playing time.
Dutch player Botman, who plays for Lille, is the number one target for Maldini and Massala at centre-back, but not the only option. According to Turkish media sources, AC Milan's number one scout Moncada will be present at the Europa League match against Barcelona in galatasaray this week to examine the 23-year-old centre-back Victor Nelson in the Turkish Super League giants.
The 1.85m Danish player, who currently has a transfer market value of around €8.5 million, spent his early career with Danish powerhouses North Zealand and Copenhagen, and moved from Copenhagen to Galatasaray last summer for a transfer fee of €7 million.
After joining the Turkish League, Nelson showed his super adaptability and quickly settled on the team's main position. So far this season, the player has played 35 times in all competitions, delivering a one-goal record, and his excellent ability to compete for the top and the focus of defense have won the trust of his teammates and coaching staff. If he can join AC Milan, I believe he will also have the opportunity to get the words and deeds of his colleague Kyal and usher in a career leap around his teammates.
