The second player that may join Marco Giampaolo at AC Milan is Joachim Andersen. The 23-year-old Denmark defender has been named the new Skriniar after two fine seasons with Sampdoria.

First reports about AC Milan’s interest in Andersen emerged in March with Calciomercato reporting that Rossoneri scouts had been following the talented centre back in several games and were ready to battle Inter for his services.

Sampdoria acquired Joachim Andersen in the summer of 2017 for just 1,4 million euros from Twente. The young defender needed some time to settle in and establish himself as a regular starter.

Andersen has made 32 Serie A appearances this season. The talented youngster already possesses the calm of  a veteran defender. Just like Praet, Sampdoria value him 25 million euros. Arsenal are also interested in the Sampdoria duo and are reportedly preparing an offer of 40 million euros.
