Italian Serie A powerhouse AC Milan is reportedly eyeing Zimbabwean defender Jordan Zemura as a potential addition to their squad. Zemura, currently playing for Udinese in the Italian top-flight, has caught the attention of the Rossoneri with his impressive performances this season.
According to Italian sports outlet Tutto Udinese, Milan is interested in Zemura as a backup for their star left-back Theo Hernandez. However, no negotiations have begun between the clubs or with the player.
Potential January Move
The report suggests that AC Milan is considering acquiring Zemura during the upcoming January transfer window. Their plan involves signing the Zimbabwean international and loaning him back to Udinese for the remainder of the season. This approach would allow the 24-year-old to continue his development and prepare for integration into Milan's squad for the 2024/25 season.
Standout Performances
Zemura, a key player for the Zimbabwean national team, has made 11 league appearances for Udinese this season, contributing one goal and one assist. Known for his defensive solidity and attacking flair, he has drawn praise in his debut Serie A campaign after joining Udinese from Bournemouth in 2023.
Long-Term Contract
The left-back is currently under contract with Udinese until June 2027, which means AC Milan would need to negotiate a significant transfer fee to secure his services.
Reinforcing Depth
AC Milan's interest in Zemura reflects their strategy to bolster squad depth, particularly as they compete on multiple fronts in domestic and European competitions. While Theo Hernandez remains Milan's first-choice left-back, adding Zemura could provide valuable cover and future competition for the Frenchman.
If Milan's interest materializes into an official approach, Zemura could become the latest Zimbabwean to represent one of Europe's elite clubs, following in the footsteps of other trailblazing Warriors. For now, fans of both Udinese and AC Milan will watch closely as the January transfer window approaches.
