Transfer report: AC Milan hoping to beat Tottenham to Croatia midfielder Milan Badelj

AC Milan are hoping to seal a move for Tottenham target Milan Badelj this summer, according to reports in Italy.

The Croatian is a long-term target for Spurs, while Chelsea have also expressed an interest in the Fiorentina midfielder in the past.

La Fiore insist the 27-year-old will not be sold but his agent Dejan Joksimovic has told the Gazzetta dello Sport that Milan want to sign him.

Badelj made 27 Serie A appearances last term, scoring once, and remains under contract until 2018.

Joksimovic said: "Fiorentina do not want to sell and do not understand why we have asked to leave.
