AC Milan are lining up Mattia Zaccagni in case Hakan Calhanoglu leaves and could include a counterpart to sweeten the deal, a report claims.
Zaccagni was one of the most impressive players for Verona last season, racking up a combined 10 goal contributions in 36 league appearances this season, including 5 goals and 5 assists, but now Ivan Juric has left and is seems the playmaker could follow.
According to the latest from Sky Italia (via MilanNews), Zaccagni is indeed a target for the Rossoneri management in case Calhanoglu were to decide to leave the club and to reject the renewal offer on the table. Not only that, but Milan could offer Mattia Caldara or Andrea Conti as counterparts to land Zaccagni, who also continues to be linked with Napoli.
Il Corriere di Verona (via MilanNews) recently reported that Napoli have an interest in signing Zaccagni from Hellas once the window reopens but recently Milan also carried out some enquiries for the 26-year-old.
