Milan & Napoli Set to Battle It Out for Sought-After Lecce Ace

Serie A giants set to go head-to-head for the signature of Lecce's rising star, Morten Hjulmand.

The Danish midfielder has impressed with his performances this season, attracting interest from a number of top clubs.

AC Milan and Napoli are reportedly leading the race for the 23-year-old, who is valued at around €20 million.

Hjulmand has been a key player for Lecce this season, helping the newly promoted side to a comfortable mid-table position.

The midfielder has also been impressive for Denmark, making his international debut in September.

Milan and Napoli are both in need of midfield reinforcements, and Hjulmand would be a valuable addition to either squad.

The Rossoneri are looking to replace Franck Kessie, who left for Barcelona on a free transfer this summer.

Napoli, meanwhile, are looking to add depth to their midfield, which is currently led by Fabian Ruiz and Piotr Zielinski.

The Serie A giants are expected to go head-to-head for Hjulmand's signature in the coming weeks.

The midfielder is under contract with Lecce until 2025, but he is believed to be open to a move to a bigger club.

Hjulmand would be a coup for either Milan or Napoli, and he could play a key role in their respective title challenges next season.
