AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has confirmed that the club are looking to bring Belgian star Axel Witsel to the club.
The Standard Liege winger is one of the hottest properties in Europe, with
Liverpool
and
Arsenal also linked with the player's signature.
The 22-year-old has now been strongly connected with a possible transfer to the Serie A title holders this summer, and Galliani concedes that there has been contact with the player.
Contact
"In the last days there has been a contact with Standard Liege's officials for Axel Witsel," Galliani told
Sky Italia.
Liege vice-president Luciano D'Onofrio also confirmed Milan's contact, stating: "I spoke with the Milan hierarchy.
"We had a chat for a few hours yesterday."
Witsel has also made it clear that he feels his future lies outside of his home country, and was eager to begin playing abroad to further his career, but did not reveal what clubs he had spoken with.
"I need to make a move abroad in order to improve," he told
Sporza.
"You can see in training with [Vincent] Kompany and [Daniel] van Buyten. They are sharper in the duels and they always behave like a professional.
"My future? I am happy that I can go on holiday. Do I know something about Milan? No and even if that was the case, I would not say so."
