In recent years AC Milan have often picked up the phone and called Chelsea when in need of a player, and they have done the same again.
According to Calciomercato.com, the Milan directors are working on several fronts to try to satisfy the requests of Sergio Conceição who has asked for three or four signings in January to bolster a squad that is stretched.
The focus is mainly on an attacking department that needs new options to solve their scoring problem. Plan A has become Santiago Gimenez, with an attempt being made to bring forward a move that was lined up for the summer.
An alternative is Joao Felix, but despite the great pressure put on by Jorge Mendes by Chelsea, there has not yet been an opening over a loan deal. The Blues do not believe that it would be a good decision given they paid €52m to sign him from Atletico Madrid.
At present, the London club have only one free slot for outgoing loan players. The dialogue between the parties is still ongoing and developments are expected in the next few hours, and there is another name that the Rossoneri like.
On Thursday we will understand if Strahinja Pavlovic will indeed leave for Fenerbahce, and if he does go then Geoffrey Moncada would have to replace the Serbian defender with another defender at a low cost, in addition to Kyle Walker.
One idea leads to Saba Goglichidze of Empoli, but they have spoken with Chelsea about Axel Disasi, a 26-year-old French central defender who would like to leave and get more playing time.
There is strong competition and Enzo Maresca wants to keep him, but Moncada admired him when he was at Monaco and the player would certainly evaluate the idea of joining.
