AC Milan are close to an agreement with Hoffenheim over the transfer Andrej Kramaric, with new chief football officer Zvonimir Boban said to be integral to the deal.
Kramaric, who was a key figure for Croatia in their run to the World Cup final in 2018, playing every single game, joined TSG Hoffenheim in 2016 for €11m, following a difficult spell at Leicester.
And, after scoring 22 goals in 37 games across competitions for Julian Nagelsmann's side in 2018/19 season - the best output of his career so far in Europe's top five leagues - he has attracted the attention of Milan, with reports from Sky Sports in Germany claiming a move is nearing closer.
