AC Milan are keeping tabs on Velez Sarsfield defender Nicolas Otamendi.
Milan have already met with Otamendi's representatives and with the club, says calciomercato.com.
AC Milan are willing to offer £12 million for Otamendi, who doesn't carry an EU passport. A likely January deal is expected to see the youngster remain with Velez on-loan for the second-half of the season.
