AC Milan eye Genoa midfield star

AC Milan have made initial contact with Genoa over the signing of midfielder Andrea Bertolacci.

The Milanese club have enjoyed a good relationship with Genoa over recent years with players such as Kevin Prince Boateng, Luca Antonelli, Stephan El Shaarawy and M’baye Niang being exchanged between the two clubs.

Milan will look to add the ex-Roma midfielder to their ranks as they look to reinvigorate their struggling side in the summer. With La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that Milan have already made enquiries about the 24-year-old, and will look to seal the transfer ahead of late interest from Fiorentina.

The Italian international Bertolacci has been at Genoa since 2012 making 70 appearances and scoring seven goals.
