The Portuguese midfielder is surplus to requirements at San Siro, and spent the second half of last season on loan at West Ham United.
The English club opted not to buy him permanently, and the player himself has admitted “Italian football is not for me”.

Real Betis are believed to be interested in signing him, and Sevilla’s interest was also reported this morning.
With Steven N’Zonzi having arrived in Italy this afternoon for a medical with Roma, calciomercato.com reports that the Rojiblancos have made their move for Joao Mario.

The Italian transfer window closes on Friday.
