AC Milan and Inter are reportedly ready to go head-to-head in the race to sign Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu. 

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the San Siro clubs could translate their on-field rivalry into the transfer market.

Noah Atubolu has emerged as one of Europe’s most promising young keepers.

Moreover, his contract at Freiburg expires in less than two years, while there’s an affordable release clause in his current deal.

Indeed, the 23-year-old could leave next summer for €20 million.

Inter Milan are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper as they prepare to wave goodbye to veteran star Yann Sommer.

Indeed, the 36-year-old’s contract runs out at the end of the summer, with the Nerazzurri ready to cut him loose next June.

Therefore, they’ve cast a wide net in pursuit of a new shot-stopper.

Atubolu is on Beppe Marotta’s shortlist, yet Inter may need to beat fierce rivals Milan to the German’s signature.

Meanwhile, Milan will only accelerate their interest in Atubolu if they fail to extend Mike Maignan’s expiring contract.
