AC Milan and Barcelona are competing for the signature of Hoffenheim youngster Melayro Bogarde.
The 18-year-old joined Hoffenheim’s academy in 2018 from Eredivisie side Feyenoord. He made his professional debut in last season’s away fixture against Mainz, and has made three starts this season in all competitions.
The young Dutchman’s current deal expires in June 2021, leaving him available for a free transfer at the end of next season. He will also be able to talk to other clubs from January onwards.
This has caught the attention of AC Milan and Barcelona, who are ready to fight for the player’s signature, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.
