AC Milan are facing opposition from Roma and Galatasaray in the pursuit of their former midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng who is nearing an exit from Schalke 04.

The 28-year-old has seen his relationship with Die Koenigsblauen reach breaking point and was suspended indefinitely following a 2-0 defeat against FC Koln in May and was told he could find a new club due to a lack of trust between the two parties.

A move back to Italy is being mooted by La Gazzetta dello Sport with the Rossoneri leading the chase, but will have to contend with Roma and Turkish giants Galatasaray who are keen to lure Boateng to Istanbul.

The Germany born Ghana international was a key member of the last Milan side to win the Scudetto in 2011 after joining from Genoa in the summer of 2010 and departed the Rossoneri in 2013 as he joined Schalke for €10 million.
