AC Milan have identified Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen as their top defensive target ahead of the January transfer window.
The Denmark international has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in recent times, with a switch to Gennaro Gattuso’s side touted as a possibility.
Milan are on the lookout for reinforcements at the back ahead of the upcoming transfer window and it seems Christensen has been prioritised.
According to claims from Italian news outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited in a report from Calciomercato, the Serie A giants have already initiated contact with Chelsea as they aim to negotiate a deal for the defender.
Christensen has fallen out of favour with the Blues following the appointment of Maurizio Sarri.
The Italian has generally opted to utilise a defensive partnership consisting of David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger this season. Gary Cahill has also been given the nod ahead of the former Borussia Monchengladbach loanee on some occasions.
This could see Christensen depart Chelsea in the upcoming transfer window and if reports are to be believed, Milan are closing in.
