Mattia Destro would welcome a move to AC Milan in the January transfer window.

The Italian international has failed to break into Roma’s first XI this season, starting just seven Serie A matches and is eager to get more first team football.

According to Sport Italia, the striker is pushing for a move to Milan and it is thought Roma would accept a loan for the rest of the season with an option of a permanent transfer in the summer.

Milan want to further strengthen their forward line after signing Alessio Cerci earlier in the window and see Destro as a possible option.

The two clubs are set to meet for talks after the weekend and the Rome derby, with both teams keen on a deal. However there are many details to be finalised with Milan looking to add Giampaolo Pazzini to any transfer.
