In fact, the report claims that Milan have been following the winger for a long time and they consider him ‘the ideal candidate’ to strengthen their attack, especially if Rafael Leao leaves.

For the moment, the San Siro club are continuing to keep informed of developments and are ‘ready to step in’ for a decisive move if the right financial conditions arise.
