AC Milan agree deal with Sporting CP to sign Conrad Harder  | OneFootball

AC Milan have reached an agreement with Sporting CP to sign Danish striker Conrad Harder, according to Sky Italia.

Milan will pay a guaranteed fee of around €24 million, plus €3m in potential add-ons for the 20-year-old.

Despite having limited gametime since joining Sporting from Nordsjælland in 2024, Harder bagged 12 goals and seven assists in 51 appearances across all competitions.

His blend of youth, technical ability and goalscoring instinct has caught Milan’s eye, as he is viewed as an exciting prospect capable of making an immediate impact.

Negotiations moved swiftly in recent days, following Milan’s failed attempt to sign Victor Boniface due to concerns revealed in his medical.

Ligue 1 outfit Stade Rennes were also keen to sign Harder as a replacement for Arnaud Kalimuendo, but Milan have won his race and are expected to finalise the move in the coming days.

The Rossoneri are keen to bring in another centre-forward before the transfer window closes, although a move for Rasmus Hojlund looks unlikely with Napoli now favourites to sign him.

Dusan Vlahovic remains of interest, but his wages are proving to be a stumbling block.

Milan’s striker issues were laid bare in their Serie A opener against newly promoted Cremonese, who claimed a shock 2-1 victory on Saturday.

A chance to get back to winning ways awaits Milan in Friday’s encounter against Leece, where Harder could make his debut.
