The Italian champions were expected to make a bid to net the player in the summer once his Viola contract had expired.

However, Milan could now offer the Tuscan club a nominal fee for a stopper who they will lose on a Bosman in June 2012 anyway.

Milan are also worried about the fitness issues hampering the campaigns of centre-backs Philippe Mexes and Alessandro Nesta.
