Micah Richards has been contacted by Milan, according to reports in the Italian Press this afternoon.

Il Giorno have claimed that the Manchester City defender has spoken with Rossoneri CEO Adriano Galliani about a possible move.

The England international has become frustrated with his limited playing time under Manuel Pellegrini, and will try and force a move in January.

Several Italian clubs, including Fiorentina and Roma are reportedly keen on the full-back, but the paper insists that the San Siro are the first to make contact.

Richards is a good friend of Nigel de Jong following their days as teammates at the Etihad, adding more fuel to the fire that he could join Massimiliano Allegri’s men.
