Ki Sung-Yueng is being targeted by Italian giants AC Milan ahead of a summer switch to Serie A, according to reports.

Corriere dello Sport state Milan's sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli is keen to sign the South Korean, who is out of contract in June.

Mirabelli worked with Ki during their time at Sunderland, where the 29-year-old spent a season on loan during the 2013-14 campaign.

The Italian worked for the Black Cats at the same time, and now wants to reunite with the former Celtic man at the San Siro.

The Rossoneri are currently 7th in Serie A and have just been drawn to face Arsenal in the last 16 of the Europa League.

The powerhouses are going through financial difficulties at present and are targeting players on free transfers to help solve their problems.

They also want to bring in former Liverpool stopper Pepe Reina from Napoli , as well as Sampdoria's Ivan Strinic, who again is a free agent in June.

The South Korean has made 21 appearances for Swansea this season after overcoming a knee injury earlier in the campaign.

He scored a vital winner for Carlos Carvalhal's side against Burnley earlier this month and has become an instrumental part of the Portuguese's plans since he arrived in December.

Ki has always insisted contract talks have been put on hold so as to concentrate on Swansea's survival bid.

West Ham showed interest in his services in January.

“I have already said my concentration is to survive in the league here and my contract is until the summer and we are starting to play better,” he said at the time.

“What I want to say is I want to be here and if Swansea wants me to stay here and be in this team then I can help this team stay in the Premier League.

“It is a difficult time but I don’t think I am going to leave. I don’t need to move. I don’t think West Ham are better than us.

“We are fighting with them to avoid relegation so I think I want to play in my team-mates.

“I want to stay in the league at Swansea, I think me playing this game means I will stay.”
