Tottenham full-back Serge Aurier is keen on a move to AC Milan.
The Ivorian knows that the writing is on the wall for him in North London after the arrival of Matt Doherty at the club from Wolves in a £15 million deal.
Milan have long been tracking Aurier, and last week made an opening bid of £13 million for him.
However, Tottenham are holding out in full for their valuation of the player. It has been reported that Spurs were looking to include him as part of the deal for Doherty, but Aurier was not keen on joining Wolves.
Bayer Leverkusen are also monitoring developments.
He cost £23 million when Spurs signed him from PSG in 2017, and although he initially struggled to adjust to the Premier League, he was first-choice last season under Jose Mourinho. He scored twice and provided 8 assists in all competitions during the last campaign.
