AC Milan are trying to sign Chelsea linked Belgian midfielder Axel Witsel this summer.

Inter Milan have beaten to the signature of Geoffrey Kondogbia from Monaco and the Rossoneri are set to miss out on another high profile target as Jackson Martinez is believed to be on his way to Atletico Madrid.




AC Milan are desperate to get back to their feet after the double blow of Kondogbia and Martinez and the Zenit St. Petersburg midfielder is currently on their agenda.

Witsel has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus over the last few months and there is speculation Chelsea are also keen to get their hands on him.
 


However, the Rossoneri are not keen to lose out on another high profile target and according to Sky Italia, they are continuously in touch with the player’s representatives to make the deal happen.
