Kristoffer Ajer’s former agent stated earlier this year that the defender planned to leave Celtic in the last window, and even after changing representatives in June, the centre-back and his new agent failed to find a new club.
AC Milan were one of the clubs credited with an interest in the Norway international.
The Serie A side, however, did business with the Hoops by allowing Diego Laxalt to join the Scottish champions on a loan deal.
The left-back has impressed for Neil Lennon’s side and has featured in each and every fixture since joining Celtic in October.
According to Calciomercato, the Milan owned player ‘has been reborn at Celtic’ and the Bhoys supporters are ‘thrilled’ with the impact the Uruguayan has had so far.
Lennon considers Laxalt as a ‘key’ player in his system, which is why his side ‘plan to buy’ the South American.
It’s claimed the ‘mutual satisfaction’, likely between the 27-year-old and Celtic, could soon result in a ‘negotiation’ with the Serie A side.
Milan could reignite interest in Ajer and may try to agree a deal for the 22-year-old Norwegian during negotiations for Laxalt.
