CM: Milan retain interest in winger who could try force Newcastle exit

AC Milan tried to sign Allan Saint-Maximin during the January transfer window and they retain an interest in signing him, a report claims.

According to the latest from Calciomercato.com, Saint-Maximin is considering leaving Newcastle at the end of the season as he no longer seems to have a guaranteed starting spot under Eddie Howe.

He is currently out with a hamstring injury, his second of the season and his third muscle problem of the campaign overall. Despite this, Milan – who had already spoken to his entourage in the January mercato – could try again for the French winger.

There are widespread reports in the Italian media that Milan have decided to move on from Ante Rebic who is currently the back-up to Rafael Leao on the left side.

Saint-Maximin is a younger profile who seems to offer more from an attacking output point of view, while he can also play on the right.
