As AC Milan currently negotiate signing Mehdi Taremi from FC Porto, it seems they had another striker put on their table.
According to Milan News, Southampton centre-forward Sekou Mara was offered to the Rossoneri.
The report claims that Milan, however, haven’t shown much interest in the Saints player.
The Serie A giants are said to be completely focused on signing Taremi, for whom they have held advanced talks, and will continue with that objective for now.
Mara has only played 79 minutes for the Saints this season, and it wouldn’t be a big surprise if he leaves before the deadline. However, perhaps AC Milan is a step too far.
At the end of the last season, it had been claimed that a few French clubs had been interested in signing him, but it now seems like none of them actually came forward for the signing.
Mara is currently valued by Transfermarkt at €10m, and has a contract with Southampton running until 2026.
