AC Milan have reportedly identified Valencia’s Ever Banega as a midfield target for the January transfer window.

The Rossoneri were tracking Parma’s Marco Parolo and Cagliari’s Radja Nainggolan, though it appears as though the Belgian has all but joined Roma.

According to Tuttosport the Rossoneri are now looking at Valencia’s Argentinian international Ever Banega.

The 25 year-old has played over 150 games for Los Murciélagos and can adopt an offensive or defensive style of play.

Milan CEO Adriano Galliani is thought to have made an identical proposition to Valencia as he had for Adil Rami: a loan with the right of purchase.

The Spanish side are understood to want a figure of €10 million to surrender the former Boca Juniors star.
