reporter Alfredo Pedullà reported that Zachar hopes to join Milan and regards it as an opportunity that cannot be missed in his career, especially when he is no longer young.

The reason why Leverkusen is hesitant is that they have lost several players in the team's core, and selling the midfielder will have a major blow to the team's prospects. However, Zhaka had made up his mind and had no intention of looking back.

Milan needs to approach Leverkusen's 15 million euros in order to complete the transfer. Although the club has always preferred to bring in potential and young players in hope of future resale value, age issues are no longer the main obstacle given the deal with Modric.

Zaka made 33 appearances for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga last season. Although he will turn 33 in September, his rich experience in the Bundesliga and Premier League will bring important help to the team if he can join Milan.
