AC Milan are ready to open swap talks with Tottenham over a January deal for Gareth Bale.

Milan are in the market for a new left-back and are planning a winter market move for Spurs defender Bale, says Corriere dello Sport.

Bale won't be Cup-tied from Champions League action this season, making him an attractive prospect for the Rossoneri.

Milan management are willing to offer Marek Jankulovski plus £5 million cash in exchange for the Wales international.
