AC Milan are not the only club interested in signing Porto playmaker Otavio as a number of teams from Italy and England are keen, a report claims.
Through our correspondent Pietro Balzano Prota, we also revealed how Milan are monitoring Thauvin and Otavio ahead of the summer window as both are potential free transfer opportunities.
The former has 84 goals and 60 appearances in 262 games for the Ligue 1 club, while the latter has 17 goals and 45 assists in 166 games for Porto.
