AC Milan are eyeing a January move for Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko, according to reports in the Italian media.

Calciomercato claim that the Magpies would be willing to accept an offer in the region of £13million (€18million) for the 26-year-old France international and that the midfielder would be receptive to a move.

Sissoko is currently away on international duty with France and has once again reiterated his desire to one day play Champions League football.

Interestingly, Milan are not in Europe’s elite competition - or even in the Europa League - yet their history and stature as one of the continent’s biggest clubs could well be a big draw for Sissoko.

The powerful midfielder has been in poor form for the Magpies this season, drawing criticism for his inconsistency in matches.

Yet Calciomercato report that Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is willing to return for Sissoko, who he made a tentative approach for in the summer, due to the fact the Frenchman is likely to be cheaper than any potential alternatives.
