Kris Ajer 'wanted' by AC Milan as Celtic star added to Serie A side's transfer wishlist

Kris Ajer is a summer transfer target for AC Milan - according to a report.

The 21-year-old Hoops star has turned heads with his displays over the past 18 months and his fine form has alerted the Serie A giants.

And now tuttomercatoweb claim Milan have added Ajer to their defensive wishlist if Mateo Musacchio departs the San Siro before the close of the transfer window.

Leo Duarte has arrived in Italy but another defensive reinforcement could join him at the Rossoneri.

Liverpool stopper Dejan Lovren is another potential candidate to replace the Argentine who joined in an £18million deal back in 2017.

But Celtic will fight tooth and nail to retain one of their rising stars. The Norway international has made 71 appearances in green and white with Neil Lennon a huge fan of the imposing defender.

Christopher Jullien is expected to command a starting berth at Parkhead after his £7m move from Toulouse with Jozo Simunovic also fighting for game time.

And Celtic could face a fight to keep the Croat with cash-rich Lille readying a bid after the Nicolas Pepe's £72m move to Arsenal.

It's a summer of change for Milan as new boss Marco Giampaolo looks to put his own stamp on proceedings after the exit of Rino Gattuso.

And the Serie A big boys have been keeping close tabs on the Scottish market with Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos another reported target.

Scouts were in attendance last month to watch the Colombian in action against St Joseph's and the Colombian striker didn't disappoint as he bagged a hat-trick in the 6-0 Europa League win.
