AC Milan have been reportedly looking into signing a deputy left-back for Theo Hernandez in order to reinforce the wide defensive area in the formation of Stefano Pioli. Rotation and depth is needed in order to be competitive in view of next season.
A name that is now linked with a move to the Rossoneri is Dutch wing-back, capable of also playing as a left-back Patrick Van Aanholt.
According to a report from FCInterNews.it, Milan and city rivals Inter are in the race to win the signature of the player and they are joined by Lazio.
Van Aanholt is currently out of contract as his last deal with Crystal Palace expired few days ago.
It remains to be seen who will step up more efforts to sign the experienced 30-year-old, former player of Chelsea and Southampton.
The source claims that the Nerazzurri see the Dutch wing-back to be a possible opportunity. However, he is not a priority at the moment simply because there are other, more pressing issues to unravel and other profiles must still be examined.
