Sead Kolasinac latest: Move to Arsenal NOT agreed as AC Milan battle to land Schalke defender
AC Milan are still hopeful of beating Arsenal to the signature of sought-after defender Sead Kolasinac.
The 23-year-old is out of contract with Bundesliga side Schalke in the summer and is set to move on for a new challenge, with AC Milan and Arsenal both in the running.
It had been claimed the full-back was all but certain to join the Gunners, but his father has insisted that his son has not yet put pen-to-paper on a deal with any club and is set to make a decision soon.
And despite the Premier League side being considered in pole position, AC Milan have not given up hope of winning the race, according to Calciomercato.
The defender came through the youth ranks at Schalke, making his Bundesliga bow for the club in 2012 against Bavarian side Greuther Furth.
Kolasinac was born in Germany and represented the country at Under-18, Under-19 and Under-20 level, before choosing to play his senior international football for Bosnia.
