Alajbegovic has asked his father and Pjanic to handle negotiations for a switch to Italy, with Inter, Napoli and Roma engaged and Milan also tracking him.
Bayer Leverkusen control the 18-year-old’s future after activating an €8m buy-back, hold a contract to 2029, and are reported to want at least €25m.
