According to SportItalia, Milan are monitoring 30-year-old midfielder Luca Cigarini.
It is believed the veteran could arrive in the last few days of the mercato to add some squad depth, rather than be a key addition.
Cigarini has been in talks with Cagliari, but that deal seems to be in stand-by.
Montella has requested the midfielder as he worked with him at Sampdoria for the second half of last season.
