AC Milan preparing bid for River Plate wing-back Leonel Vangioni

AC Milan are actively discussing a January bid for River Plate wing-back Leonel Vangioni.

Milan are in the market for a new wing-back to act as cover for Mattia de Sciglo.

Tuttosport says Milan sports chief Rocco Maiorino has glowing scouting reports on his table of Vangioni and is now discussing a move with the board for the 27 year-old.

River insist they do not want to part with Vangioni. But an offer of €5 million would be enough for River to rethink their stand.

Milan are turning to Vangioni with coach Pippo Inzaghi unimpressed with De Sciglio's current alternatives, Michelangelo Albertazzi and Pablo Armero.
