AC Milan has officially opened communication lines to sign Bayern Munich's second team defender, the young Croatian Ljubo Puljic, who is 18 years old, according to the reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Puljic is considered one of the most promising talents in Bayern Munich's reserve team, playing as a central defender. He has caught attention due to his rapid development and consistent performance, which has made him a target for several European clubs recently.

Milan's management sees the player as an important investment option for the future, in line with their policy of attracting and developing young players, with the possibility of promoting them to the first team or benefiting from them in the long term both technically and commercially.

Discussions are expected to continue in the coming period to determine Bayern Munich's final stance on the deal, as Milan seeks to finalize matters early amid increasing competition for the promising Croatian defender's services.
