AC Milan are looking to add Roma defender Alessio Romagnoli to their ranks this summer.

The 20-year-old centre back spent the season on loan at Sampdoria, where he played a vital role under the tutelage of Sinisa Mihajlovic.

Now it seems the pair could be reunited as Gazzetta dello Sport claims the Rossoneri’s incoming coach Mihajlovic wants to bring Romagnoli in to shore up the defence.

Roma are keen on retaining the services of their academy product, particularly as he’s demonstrated his reliability having made 30 Serie A appearances this campaign.

Mihajlovic was impressed with Romagnoli during his tenure with the Bluecerchiati and has asked Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani to convince Roma into parting with the defender.

Milan are expected to meet with Roma to discuss the availability of Andrea Bertolacci, who is currently co-owned between the Giallorossi and Genoa.

Romagnoli happened to make his Serie A debut for Roma against the Rossoneri in 2012.
