It was reported recently that AC Milan is indeed looking to sign a deputy left-back that would be able to cover for Theo Hernàndez. Mainly, reports suggested the idea of Vina from Palmeiras. But, SportMediaset has claimed lately that Milan could sign Newcastle's 29 year-old Moroccan full-back who is in negotiations to free himself from the contract.
According to the latest information provided by Mirror.co.uk, the Magpies are ready to pay up the contract of Morocco left-back Achraf Lazaar, who has an expiring deal at the end of the season.
Lazaar was signed from Palermo in August 2016, but has failed to start a league game for Newcastle and is eager to return to Italy, where AC Milan are said to be interested.
