Rising Belgian star Maxim De Cuyper has caught the attention of two prominent Serie A clubs. Both AC Milan and AS Roma are showing interest in the versatile left-back from Club Brugge, who comes with a hefty €25 million valuation.
The 24-year-old De Cuyper has been making waves in Belgian football, showcasing his skills with an impressive tally of four goals and seven assists across 54 matches for Club Brugge this season. His ability to adapt to multiple positions on the field has been a key factor in attracting interest from top clubs.
De Cuyper`s versatility is particularly noteworthy. He excels not only as a left-back but can also effectively play on the left side of a five-man midfield or even as part of an attacking trident on the left flank. This flexibility makes him an attractive prospect for teams looking to strengthen multiple areas of their squad.
Serie A Giants Vying for De Cuyper`s Signature
AC Milan had previously expressed interest in De Cuyper as a potential replacement for Theo Hernandez, who is rumored to be in advanced talks with Atletico Madrid. Now, Roma has entered the race, viewing De Cuyper as an ideal successor to Angelino, should the Spaniard complete a move to Al-Hilal.
The substantial asking price of €25-30 million could pose a challenge for interested parties. However, there`s potential for a deal to be structured as a loan with an option to buy, which could make the transfer more feasible for the Italian clubs.
It`s worth noting that De Cuyper has also been on the radar of other Serie A teams. Juventus has shown interest in recent months, and Atalanta`s manager Gian Piero Gasperini has previously scouted the player.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on this talented Belgian international, with AC Milan and Roma leading the chase for his signature.
