Milan have reportedly asked Zenit midfielder Axel Witsel to delay a decision on his future until August, with Chelsea closing in.
Corriere dello Sport has reported that the Rossoneri have targeted the Belgian to strengthen their midfield, but first want to sign a centre-back.
The report says that Milan representatives contacted the player directly to ask him to delay a decision on his future until August, due to worries of a switch to the Premier League.

It has also been suggested that the upcoming International Champions Cup matches against Inter and Real Madrid will help determine whether a heavy midfield investment is required.
It is believed that Zenit value the 26-year-old at €35m, but the Rossoneri have reportedly targeted Sampdoria’s Roberto Soriano as a less expensive plan B.
