Hakan Calhanoglu's contract is set to expire in around a month, and negotiations are yet to be successful with his agent Gordon Stipic.
The club management have already a plan B in mind to protect themselves in case Hakan fails to renew his deal at Casa Milan, just like how the management are doing with Gianluigi Donnarumma right now.
According to the information that has been provided by Sky Sport, Atalanta's Slovenian playmaker Josip Ilicic from Atalanta is the favourite to take Hakan's spot if the Turk leaves.
The 33 year-old skilled player has expressed his will to leave the Bergamo side after spending 4 years there, looking for new destinations. His contract expires next year, and Milan could decide to take him.
