Milan could potentially have left it too late for Ajax midfielder Donny Van de Beek, whose price tag has now more than doubled since last summer.
The Rossoneri have been interested in signing the 22-year-old for a few years now and a meeting with the player's representatives in October was postponed until the end of the season.
According to calciomercato.com both current sporting director Leonardo and the man he replaced Massimiliano Mirabelli had been impressed by the midfielder and made attempts for his signature.
The Dutch club had originally valued the youngster at €25m last summer, but after his fine performances in this season’s Champions League, his price tag has now more than doubled to around €60m.
Van de Beek would be open to a move to the San Siro and is aware of the history and importance of playing for such an illustrious club, but he could now be well outside of Milan’s price range.
He has contributed 15 goals and 11 assists in 51 competitive games for Ajax this season.
