Milan (Image: AC Milan via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Aberdeen are finally closing in on a deal to sign Marko Lazetic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/scottish-cup\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Scottish Cup<\/a> winners have agreed a deal in principle with <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/ac-milan\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">AC Milan<\/a> for their Serbian under-21 cap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The Dons have been in talks for several weeks trying to land the 21-year-old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">They are now in the process of finalising the deal, which will see AC Milan get a chunky sell-on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \"><a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/aberdeen-fc\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Aberdeen <\/a>are also close to agreeing personal terms and the move will be subject to a medical and the player meeting the UK visa criteria.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">AC Milan paid around \u00a33.5 million to sign Lazetic from Red Star back in 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Lazetic has made it clear that he wants to move to Aberdeen and that has also been another big factor in the move being pushed forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \"><a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/jimmy-thelin\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jimmy Thelin<\/a> first showed an interest in Lazetic back in January when he was on loan at FK TSC, but it was too close to the end of the window to get a deal done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Lazetic has struggled for game time at AC Milan and has spent most of his time there out on-loan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He has had spells at Rheindorf Attach, Fortuna Sittard and TSC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Thelin has been looking to bring in another striker to battle it out with Kusini Yengi, Ester Sokler and Peter Ambrose for a number of weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Aberdeen are looking to bring in another four players, including Lazetic, before the close of the window.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Thelin wants to beef his squad up for their domestic campaign and their upcoming European group stage campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">They play their Europa League play-off qualifier later this month against the winners of the FCSB and Drita tie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The Romanians are winning 3-2 ahead of their trip to Kosovo on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Thelin is on
