AC Milan are keeping close tabs on Real Madrid midfielder Asier Illarramendi, according to Il Corriere della Sera.
The Rossoneri are widely tipped to reinforce the midfield department in the upcoming transfer window and the Spaniard is one of the players they are looking at.
Il Corriere della Sera has suggested that Milan chief Adriano Galliani has established initial contact with the player’s agents as the Serie A side hope to sign Illarramendi on a six-month loan.
The 24-year-old has struggled for playing time since joining from Real Sociedad, and he only started one league match this season.
With Sami Khedira back in contention, Illarramendi could find it even harder to secure first team football in the coming months and he will probably be tempted by the opportunity to move to San Siro.
AC Milan will be in action tomorrow afternoon as they play host to Palermo, with home win paying 1/2.
