According to Juve Live, AC MIlan advisor and Swedish icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic has expressed a strong desire to bring his compatriot to San Siro.

Ibrahimovic is reportedly an admirer of Kulusevski’s talents and is particularly keen to see him don the Italian club’s red and black, as the club considers life beyond Rafael Leao, who continues to be a target for top European teams.
The European giants have sight set on Kulusevski and are ready to splash around €50 million for Kulusevski.
However, his contract with Tottenham runs until 2028, making it unlikely the Lilywhites would entertain a bid without a substantial offer.
Kulusevski’s time at Tottenham
Kulusevski joined Spurs in 2022 on an 18-month loan from Juventus, and after having impressed with his performances, Tottenham signed him on a permanent deal in 2023 for £25 million.
Despite encountering challenges during his second season due to injuries, the Swede has found new form under Postecoglou’s leadership this year, flourishing in a new midfield role.
This season, he has scored 2 and assisted 1 in 9 league games, taking his tally for the club to 17 goals and 21 assists in 109 appearances. Despite his modest numbers this season, his underlying stats tell a different story.

His performances this season has earned him high praise from fans and pundits, with Wright-Phillips comparing him with Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp.
For Spurs, losing a player of Kulusevski’s calibre would be a significant loss. His vision and playmaking skills align closely with Postecoglou’s tactical approach, making him a vital part of Spurs’ ambitions.
