AC Milan propose swap deal for Newcastle defender Santon

AC Milan are keen on exchanging fringe striker M’Baye Niang in exchange for Newcastle fullback Davide Santon.

Niang has been heavily linked with a move to Newcastle this month, and Milan believe they can include long-term target Santon in the negotiations.

Tuttomercatoweb report that with Milan targeting reinforcements in defence, Santon has once again emerged as a viable target for the Rossoneri.

Santon has just returned from a long-term injury, and has seen his spot lost to Paul Dummett, who has emerged as the clubs first choice left-back in the Italian international’s absence.

Milan hope to contact Newcastle soon over the possible exchange, and a deal may be completed in the coming weeks.
