According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan have identified Roma midfielder Jordan Veretout as their main alternative to Renato Sanches.
The Portugal international is Milan’s primary target to replace Franck Kessié who is expected to leave the Stadio Meazza at the end of his contract in the summer.
Milan made a late bid to sign Sanches in the winter transfer window but had not enough time to negotiate with Lille. Sanches seems keen to join the Rossoneri, but it remains to be seen if the Serie A giants will match his salary demands over the summer.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Bayern Munich starlet is not Milan’s only target. The Rossoneri are also interested in Roma’s Jordan Veretout, who has fallen down the pecking order under José Mourinho this term.
Roma’s asking price for the France international is €20m, but the player’s price tag could further decrease over the next few months, especially if the former Fiorentina man won’t play consistently.
Tottenham had also been linked with the 28-year-old in January, but Spurs eventually singed Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus.
