AC Milan are working on various different options for the defensive department and they have begun talks over a couple of Premier League targets, a report claims.
In his latest update on Sky UK’s Transfer Show (and on their live blog), journalist Dharmesh Sheth confirmed that Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly is free to talk to clubs outside England over a pre-contract agreement.
He states that Milan and Juventus both have ‘concrete interest’ in landing him on a free transfer, with both Serie A clubs ‘in talks with Kelly’s representatives’ over a potential switch to Italy.
Tottenham were keen on signing Kelly in the summer and ‘continue to keep an eye on his situation’, however the possibility of staying at Bournemouth cannot be ruled out as talks over an extension have not completely ceased.
Dharmesh Sheth also said live on Sky moments ago that talks are ongoing between Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund over a deal for Ian Maatsen, who the Blues want to sell permanently.
Dortmund want to do a loan with obligation to buy, with the loan fee and the figure of the buy-out currently under negotiation. He added that Milan ‘also had a tentative interest, but not at the prices being quoted’.
