As has been reported by Goal.com, the French defender is set to be playing in Serie A this season but it is not likely to be for the Rossoneri, with their attention having to turn elsewhere.
He is out of contract at the end of this season which is why there has been so much speculation about his future over the past year or so.
Many clubs have been very keen on adding him to their squad but it seems that Roma are going to win that race. He will sign a four-year deal with the Giallorossi and earn €3 million per season.
His entourage recently met with the club and Jose Mourinho to move the deal along. Milan must now focus on other defensive targets.
