The African defender is out of favour at San Siro and his representative has played down suggestions that a move to another Serie A club this transfer window is in the pipeline

The agent of AC Milan defender Taye Taiwo has revealed that his client could leave Italy in the winter transfer window.The Nigeria international has voiced his desire for a new challenge after making just eight competitive appearances since joining the Serie A champions from Marseille in the summer.A move to Genoa as part of the deal that saw Alexander Merkel return to Milan had been tipped as a strong possibility, but Taiwo's agent has ruled out a move to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris."The player will not move to Genoa simply because they have not asked for him," Fabio Parisi told MilanNews.it."There is a possibility that he could leave and we are trying to find a solution. There could be some developments today, let's see what happens."A move abroad is surely the strongest possibility."
