AC Milan target CSKA Moscow midfielder
A
The news comes as the Rossoneri prepare themselves for a €15 million offer for Kevin Prince Boateng from AS Monaco.
Tuttosport reports the Ghanian’s time in Milan is over and Honda will serve as a suitable replacement.
The Japanese international’s contract expires in December 2013 and an offer now would likely tempt the Russian side into selling.
Honda would provide more flexibility and creativity, as well as fuel the same marketing strategy Inter used signing Yuto Nagatomo.
Boateng has struggled to replicate the form of the previous season, scoring only three goals in all competitions.
