Andrea Conti is set to join Empoli on a permanent deal from Milan and the Rossoneri are considering the Tuscans’ defender Mattia Viti for the summer.
The 19-year-old made his Serie A debut under Aurelio Andreazzoli this term and has played nine games across all competitions.
He is regarded as one of the most promising defenders in Italy and according to Calciomercato.com, Empoli have rejected a €15m bid from Atalanta.
Fiorentina, Napoli and Milan are also monitoring the Italian centre-back with the Rossoneri who could use Andrea Conti to sweeten the deal.
The former Atalanta full-back is set to join the Tuscans on a permanent deal in January and the Rossoneri will try to get an option to sign Viti at the end of the season.
The Rossoneri are looking for a replacement for the injured Simon Kjaer and have made Lille defender Sven Botman their priority target for the winter transfer window.

Hope he stays with Empoli. Except for 1 Result this year, I do like what they are doing.
Injuries ruined Conti’s time at Milan so for his sake I hope he stays healthy.
I would prefer Parisi from Empoli.
