AC Milan are stepping up their push for Arsenal chief exec Ivan Gazidis.
New Milan owners Elliott Management will restructure their management in the coming weeks, including the appointment of a new CEO.
Corriere della Sera says top of their shortlist is Gazidis.
Should they manage to tempt the former MLS boss away from the Gunners, it is expected to see Marco Fassone depart.
Also under consideration is former Milan player and coach Leonardo, who would arrive as new technical director.
