AC Milan are in contact with Zenit St Petersburg coach Andre Villas-Boas.
Milan, in the final stages of being sold to a Chinese group, are seeking a big-name coach for next season.
Sky Italia says Milan have made contact with AVB, who's deal with Zenit expires in December.
The former Chelsea and Tottenham boss has stated he expects to leave Russian football this year, though Zenit want him to see out his current deal.
