The 20-year-old made headlines for all the good reasons while wearing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 jersey earlier this week, and the Serie A clubs have reportedly set their sights on luring the youngster away from De Kuip Stadion.
Reports in Italian and Dutch media indicate that AC Milan are closely monitoring http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-c8098 Martins Indi, and would be tabling a bid in the upcoming January transfer window to acquire the 20-year-old’s services.
The versatile defender, who came through the ranks of the Rotterdammers youth academy, has been staging consistent showings since making his debut at De Kuip Stadion in the 2010/11 season.
The Dutchman’s impressive performances at the back convinced the new Netherlands coach, Louis van Gaal, to include him in his squad for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hungary-c2920 in September.
Martins Indi, who made his debut for the Oranje in the 4-2 loss against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850 in a friendly game on August 15, performed brilliantly in both of the Flying Dutchmen’s games. The talented central defender not only provided rock solid defence, he also netted
his first goal in his side’s 4-1 win over Hungary.
Van Gaal tested the Dutch stopper’s abilities in his side’s next two 2014 World Cup qualification games against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andorra-c2837 and Romania, and the 20-year-old did not let down his coach with his showings. Not only the promising centre-back performed brilliantly
at the back, he even grabbed his second goal for the Oranje in his side’s impressive 4-1 victory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Romania-c2990 on October 16.
Reports indicate that the AC Milan scouts were present in Bucharest to watch the game between the Flying Dutchmen and the Tricolorii, they were also impressed by the young stopper’s performance.
The central defender, who can play easily play at the left-back position as well, has thus far played over 50 Eredivisie games for Feyenoord, and has an ongoing contract at De Kuip Stadion that runs until the summer of 2016.
Although, the Rotterdammers management has no intentions of selling their prized asset in the January transfer window, an offer in the region of 12 million Euros could prove to be hard to turn down.
