El Mundo Deportivo says Milan want to schedule a formal meeting with Barcelona directors next week to discuss the signing of all three international stars. Zambrotta and Ronaldinho have been long-time targets for the Rossoneri, while Eto'o's interest has been sparked over concerns for the long-term fitness of Ronaldo.

Barca won't consider selling any of their senior players during the winter market and sources say only Zambrotta would be considered a genuine prospect to be cashed in at the end of the season.

However, this won't put off Milan, which hope their good relationship with the current Barca board will lead to the Spanish giants at least being willing to listen to their proposal.
