Leicester City are in a relegation battle and their poor run in the league saw them part ways with Brendan Rodgers and appoint Dean Smith as his successor last month.
Smith’s appointment hasn’t favoured Daniel Amartey, who is yet to make an appearance for the Foxes under the new manager.
The 28-year-old centre-back has a deal expiring in June and his future could be away from Leicester.
According to Il Romanista, the Ghanaian’s contract situation has drawn interest from AC Milan.
With Amartey unlikely to find an agreement with Leicester over a new deal, Milan chief Paolo Maldini would have identified him as a ‘great market opportunity’ for the next window.
In fact, the versatile player seems ‘closer than ever’ to wearing the Milan shirt as it’s claimed they ‘have already found an agreement’ for his transfer.
Stefano Pioli’s side could see one of Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori and Simon Kjær leave the San Siro after this season. Therefore, Maldini would ‘like to secure’ the Leicester player’s services for next season.
The report warns Milan that they must be wary about Inter Milan as the latter are vigilant about Amartey’s situation.
