AC Milan are encouraged by comments from Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner this week.
The 23 year-old Dane has warned he will seek a summer move away from the Gunners if he doesn't see more action between now and the end of the season.
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is a big fan of Bendtner and has discussed moving for the centre-forward with sporting director Ariedo Braida. The two powerbrokers see Bendtner as cover for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Lazio president Claudio Lotito is also watching developments as he considers Bendtner as the player to turn his team into a genuine top four prospect next season.
