It is reported that AC Milan and Juventus Turin are observing Kerim Alajbegović, an 18-year-old winger for Red Bull Salzburg who also has German citizenship. FC Bayern has also shown interest in the player. In the current Bundesliga season, he has scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists in 18 appearances. The Bosnia-Herzegovina international has 6 caps and 1 goal for his country. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €8.00m. Additionally, Bayer Leverkusen has a buy-back clause for the player, which could allow them to re-sign and then immediately sell him this summer; a report from February 2026 valued this clause at €6 million. It was reported that there were concrete offers for Alajbegović during the previous winter, and while his contract runs until 2029, a future with the Austrian club beyond the summer of 2026 is considered increasingly improbable.
