The Rossoneri are looking to bring younger faces into their defence and the main target is said to be ex-Roma man Walter Samuel.
Milan have the strongest defensive record in Serie A, but with Marcos Cafu, Paolo Maldini, Jaap Stam, Giuseppe Pancaro and Billy Costacurta all well over 30, there is need for some fresh blood.
The San Siro outfit has long been linked with Bayern Munich star Samuel Osei Kuffour. The 28-year-old Ghanaian central defender has an EC passport and is also a target for several top European clubs, as he will be out of contract at the end of this season.
However, it is reported that the primary target is a more familiar face to Serie A. Samuel was consistently impressive during his four years at Roma and earned an £18m move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2004.
The Argentine has not settled in to La Liga, picking up three red cards, and has already been linked with a move back to Italy for Inter or Juventus.
The only real stumbling block to this switch is represented by the price-tag, though Milan have been saving money over the last few years with just one big move per season.
