French international and AC Milan centre-back Philippe Mexes is in talks to join Turkish side Trabzonspor.
Trabzonspor are confident of snapping up the defender after a nightmare season at Milan according to L’Equipe.
The Turkish side are competing in the Europa League with fellow countrymen Florent Malouda also at the club.
Milan have grown impatient with Mexes’ defensive shortcomings and want to rid themselves of his €4 million wages.
Mexes has played 18 competitive matches this season and scored the vital goal to allow Milan to compete for Champions League qualification.
