AC Milan target Lucas Leiva

AC Milan are looking at the prospect of signing out-of-favour Liverpool defender Lucas Leiva ahead of the new season.

The Brazilian international recently had a bust up with manager Brendan Rodgers, and he has now been told that he is free to exit the club before the transfer deadline.

Gazzetta dello Sport cites that the Rossoneri are weighing up a bid for the midfield enforcer.

It is added that the player's agent will meet up with Milan officials in the coming days regarding the possible move.
