AC Milan are launching a bid for Atalanta fullback Andrea Conti.

TMW says Milan will offer €17 million for the Italy international, who is also wanted by Inter Milan and Chelsea.

Indeed, it's suggested Milan will slap in the bid this week in an effort to beat an auction for the youngster.

However, Atalanta management are likely to wait until the transfer window opens, knowing they can drive up Conti's price.

The defender has stated this week he feels ready for "a big club" move.
