AC Milan offered Benfica striker

AC Milan chief Adriano Galliani has confirmed Benfica that have offered Ola John to the Italian club.

The Dutch international has impressed with the Portuguese giants after his €12 million transfer from FC Twente last year and could be set for a move to Serie A.

“Ola John is of great interest to us. Benfica offered him to us and we’re thinking about it,” Galliani told Portuguese newspaper O Jogo.

“I cannot say whether it is for a loan or something else right now.”

John made 18 appearances for Benfica in the Portuguese top flight last season.
