AC Milan are apparently turning their interest away from Atalanta midfielder Daniele Baselli and considering buying Andrea Bertolacci from Genoa in the summer.

The Rossoneri have been linked with Baselli in recent months, but the 23-year-old central midfielder is struggling for playing time with La Dea and the Grifone’s Bertolacci is now the preferred target for the midfield.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, established midfielders Andrea Poli and Riccardo Montolivo will remain with AC Milan next season but Rossoneri vice-president Adriano Galliani is searching for more Italian midfielders to add to the roster.

Galliani has a good rapport with Genoa president Enrico Preziosi and it is believed that the duo have been in contact recently regarding a possible deal.

Bertolacci has won two caps for Italy while Baselli has been capped 11 times for Italy’s Under-21 squad.
