Milan confirms the signing of young forward Kostic.

In a bold move that promises to shake up the transfer market, AC Milan has just announced the signing of young prodigy Andrej Kostic, a 19-year-old forward from Fudbalski Klub Partizan. The official confirmation was made last Tuesday, and Kostic will join the Italian giants starting July 1, 2026, in a move that reflects the renewed ambition of the Rossoneri.

Rumors about Kostic’s transfer had been circulating for months, with reports of negotiations between the player and Milan emerging since December. The young striker arrived in Milan last Sunday to undergo medical tests, a clear sign that the transfer was close to being finalized. His agent, Darko Ristic, also represents Dusan Vlahovic, another target for Milan, which adds an interesting layer to this story.

Kostic, who has already made a name for himself as an international for Montenegro, has scored 11 goals in 34 matches this season. The player made his debut for the senior national team in October 2025, confirming his potential on the field. By securing his services, Milan is not only adding a promising talent to their squad but also investing in what they call “Milan Futuro,” a project focused on the training and development of young talents.

According to information from transfer expert Matteo Moretto, the club paid €3.5 million for the forward, with the possibility of adding up to €4.5 million in bonuses and a future sale clause to Partizan. Kostic will remain at the Serbian club until the end of the season, before officially joining Milan next season.

The official statement from AC Milan was clear and enthusiastic: “AC Milan is delighted to announce the signing of Andrej Kostic from Fudbalski Klub Partizan, who will join the club from July 1, 2026. The forward, born in 2007, will be part of the Milan Future Project, dedicated to the growth and development of young talents.”

This strategic move not only solidifies Milan’s position in the European football landscape but also highlights the club’s intention to build a strong future filled with rising stars. As the club prepares for the new season, Kostic is positioned to be a key player in their ambition for triumphant returns. Anticipation is now growing around what this young talent will bring to San Siro.
