AC Milan are under pressure to secure young duo Mattia De Sciglio and Alessio Romagnoli to new contracts.
Romagnoli was the subject of a confirmed bid from Chelsea last month, while De Sciglio now has less than two years to run on his deal.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Milan are keen to discuss new terms with both young players, but it won't be smooth.
The young pair are seeking playing guarantees and also assurances over the ambitions of the club's incoming owners.
Sao Paulo defender Rodrigo Caio, meanwhile, is emerging as a January target for the Rossoneri.
