AC Milan will hope to end Mario Baloteli's nightmare spell at Manchester City by lodging a bid for the young striker.
The 21-year-old Italy international has endured a turbulent time since his £25m move to City from Inter Milan last summer and has been at the centre of a number of invidious moments.
Balotelli appears to have fallen even further down the pecking order following the summer arrival of Sergio Aguero, while Roberto Mancini favours Edin Dzeko in the centre-forward role.
Aguero made a stunning debut against Swansea on Monday night with a brace of goals and an assist and is expected to cement a regular first-team place this season.
Italian newspaper Corriere Dello Sport has reported this morning that Milan have made Balotelli one of their major targets as they have concerns over the fitness of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is hoping a deal can be finalised before the end of next week for Balotelli, but whether City will sell is another matter.
Mancini believes the temperamental Balotelli has been misunderstood by the English press and that there is plenty more to come from the precocious talent on the field.
