KRISTOFFER AJER could be on his way to Milan, with reports in Italy suggesting that a meeting to discuss a move from Parkhead to the San Siro is scheduled to take place next week.
The Norwegian's future in Glasgow's east end has been the subject of intense speculation this summer, with AC Milan understood to be long-term admirers of the 22-year-old.
According to respected Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, negotiations are set to continue next week between the two clubs, with Celtic reportedly valuing the player at around £15 million.

The precise structure of the potential deal is currently unknown but Di Marzio reports that Ajer could join the Serie A giants on a loan deal initially, with an option inserted in the contract to then buy the centre-half for a predetermined fee once the loan expires at the end of the season.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
