Milan are monitoring the situation of Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, whose contract with the English club is approaching its expiration date.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Netherlands international could leave Liverpool as a free agent if he does not agree a new deal with the club.
Milan’s interest in Van Dijk has reportedly lasted for some time. Club owner Gerry Cardinale and senior adviser Zlatan Ibrahimovic are said to hold the defender’s leadership qualities and ability in high regard.
However, Milan could face competition from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, including Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.
According to the Italian newspaper, Milan’s chances of signing Van Dijk would be reduced if the defender decides to pursue another major contract during the final stage of his career.
