AC Milan are lining up a move for Celta Vigo winger Nolito.

Gazzetta World says Milan have stolen the march on their rivals in securing the Spaniard's signature.

Nolito has just one year left to run on his Celta Vigo contract, and there are suggestions that his release clause may be as low as €15 million.

Milan's swoop for the winger reportedly follows up their attempts to strike a deal in January, one which then fell through, with a potential summer transfer hinging on the club's sale and subsequent investment from a Chinese consortium.
