AC Milan have turned their attention to highly-rated Athletic Club central defender Aymeric Laporte.
The 21-year-old French youth international is regarded as one of the best young defenders in Europe, and has been chased by the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid for some time now.
After just missing out on Geoffrey Kondogbia and Jackson Martinez, Milan still have plenty of money left in their war-chest and want a big signing to appease their fans.
Milannews.it report that Rossoneri coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has asked the club to sign him a top ball-playing defender and after missing out on Mats Hummels, Laporte fits the bill.
The player recently signed a new contract until 2019 with a release clause of €50 million, meaning Milan will have to cough up a huge fee to net the much coveted-defender.
Laporte made 45 appearances in all competitions for Athletic this season.
