AC Milan will reportedly look to sign 25-year-old Crystal Palace defensive mainstay Tyrick Mitchell in a Bosman move in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Tyrick Mitchell is the subject of interest from AC Milan. The Serie A giants are scouring the market for a left-back heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Theo Hernandez’s long-term future. So, the Crystal Palace defensive mainstay has emerged as a target over a Bosman move for the Rossoneri.
Tyrick Mitchell and his career so far
Tyrick Mitchell has established himself as one of the best full-backs in the Premier League since breaking into the first-team squad at Crystal Palace. A native of London, the Englishman spent his formative years in his home city, passing through the academies at Pinner Albion, FC Wembley, and Brentford before graduating from the youth division at Crystal Palace.
The 25-year-old has been with the South London club for nearly nine years, and he broke into the first-team squad at Selhurst Park in July 2020. However, Mitchell had to wait until the 2021/22 season to become the undisputed first-choice left-back for Crystal Palace, and he has not looked back since then.
The English international has turned out over 150 times thus far for the Eagles while chipping in with three goals and 12 assists. However, Mitchell’s long-term future at Crystal Palace is uncertain, as he has entered the final few months of his contract. The situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
What next?
Recent reports have linked Tyrick Mitchell with Manchester United, while other European bigwigs are also keen on signing the Crystal Palace wide player. However, AC Milan will aim to beat the competition to the player’s signature in a Bosman move in the summer transfer window.
The Serie A giants are in a spot of bother over Theo Hernandez’s long-term future, and they might part ways with the French international in the summer transfer window. So, the 25-year-old Englishman has emerged as a viable target for AC Milan.
It is unclear if Crystal Palace can convince the English full-back to commit his long-term future to the South London club. With time running out, AC Milan will hope to secure a pre-contract agreement with Mitchell.
