AC Milan chasing Hernandez

Serie A side AC Milan are reportedly looking to sign Javier Hernandez from Manchester United to replace star striker Mario Balotelli, who was sold to Liverpool earlier today.

The Italian striker bid his farewell to the Red and Blacks after completing a £16m move to Anfield, as the Rossoneri look to restructure their squad after a dismal eighth place finish in the league last season.

They have already drawn up a list of potential players they would like to bring in to San Siro in place of the 24-year-old, and reports in Sky Italia suggest that the Red Devils’ Mexican striker is a top candidate.

United’s newly-appointed manager Louis van Gaal has already asked Hernandez to look for a deal away from Old Trafford, and a move to Italy would seem like an ideal choice for the 26-year-old, who is also being chased by Inter Milan and Juventus.

AC Milan are also looking at Alvaro Negredo from Manchester City and Jackson Martinez from FC Porto as possible replacements.
