Milan regards Xavi Grae as the new Reindez, preparing to offer 18 million + 4 million euros

"Milan Sports" reported that AC Milan regards Valencia's Xavi Grae as the new Reindez.

The Valencia midfielder won two starts in this European Youth Championship. After continuing to inspect, Milan scouts regarded him as the new generation of Reindez. The first offer of 18 million euros + 4 million floating clause is ready, which is similar to the 20 million euros + floating fee when Reindez was introduced two years ago.

Comparative analysis: Reindes joined Milan and was two years older than Grae. His Eredivisie was not as experienced as Grae's main player in La Liga, and he was never selected as the Dutch U21. Grae has shined in La Liga for two consecutive seasons. Milan regards him as a midfield assaulter and will gain more room for scoring in the future with the support of new players Zachar and Modric. If the transaction is successful, the Ross and Black midfielders will complete innovation, Zaka is in the center, Modric is the organizational midfielder, and Grae serves as the vitality point for free insertion.

Thanks to the communication channels established by Moussa's transfer two years ago, Milan has a good relationship with Valencia. Although Mousa may switch to the Premier League, the club is currently focusing on Gra's transfer. The player contract expires in 2027 and the negotiations for renewal are stagnant, which creates conditions for Milan.

After the European Youth Championship is over, the transaction will accelerate. Valencia's psychological price is 25 million, and Milan is expected to reach an agreement with a total price of 20 million to 25 million. The salary is fully in line with the club's standards. Gra's joining will not affect Zachar's transfer, but will match Milan's team-building strategy of "experienced leader + potential star". Just like Modric who has been finalized and Zaka who is close to joining, the 23-year-old Gra will become an important puzzle for the rejuvenation of the midfield.
