AC Milan directors are at loggerheads over the prospect of signing Arsenal outcast Mesut Ozil this month.

Corriere dello Sport says Milan are considering a move for him but the power brokers at the San Siro are struggling to agree on a deal.

The relationship between Ivan Gazidis and Paolo Maldini has deteriorated over their opinions on signing Ozil.

Gazidis, who served as Arsenal's chief executive for around 10 years and departed to assume the same role at Milan in 2017, is against the idea of bringing Ozil to Serie A.

He believes the 30-year-old does not fit into the club's recruitment strategy with his age and wage demands financially unsuitable for the club.

The Gunners are willing to listen to offers for Ozil but it remains to be seen who will take on his salary. Arsenal will almost certainly need to subsidise his wages in order to shift him.
