AC Milan are hopeful of beating Napoli and Roma to the signature of Real Madrid fullback Alvaro Arbeloa.
The 31-year-old Spanish international has been linked with a move away from the club, with boss Carlo Ancelotti favouring Dani Carvajal as his first-choice right-back.
Fichajes.net report that Milan boss Filippo Inzaghi is banking on his good relationship with Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti to try and win the race for the experienced fullback.
Napoli and Roma are also monitoring the situation and could make a move for the Spaniard in the upcoming transfer window.
Arbeloa has scored four goals in 197 appearances for Los Blancos since returning to the club from Liverpool in 2009.
