AC Milan are keen to sign Ascoli midfielder Riccardo Orsolini, CEO Adriano Galliani has revealed.
Galliani feels the 19-year-old, who plays in Serie B, fits the profile of young Italian talent Milan are looking to build from and suggested he could initially serve as a back-up option for Suso.
He has played in all 19 of Ascoli's league matches this season.
"Orsolini we like," Galliani told reporters.
"He is a good player, a left-footer who plays on the right and he could be a good alternative to Suso.
"He still has a long way to go, but the Berlusconi-Galliani agreement is to focus on young Italian players."
"I can definitely exclude big signings as Milan's transfer campaign is very complex.
"Everything is difficult. I can make a deal, conclude it, but then we need the approval of the other party [Sino].
"The market moves quickly, never mind having a complete deal and having to ask permission from others.
"To have a neutral transfer campaign we will have to sell before we buy. So I don't know what will happen in January."
