West Brom request Matri

By Football Italia staff

Milan reportedly received a formal offer from West Bromwich Albion for striker Alessandro Matri.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Premier League club sent a written proposal late Friday evening.

They are eager to take the former Juventus hitman on loan, paying an undisclosed sum for the privilege.

Milan have been trying to off-load Matri in the January transfer window after he scored just one goal in 18 appearances between Serie A and the Champions League.

The 29-year-old only arrived on August 30 for €11m (£9.6m), but failed to make an impact.

West Brom have also been linked with Roma striker Marco Borriello in a similar loan deal.
