AC Milan director Paolo Maldini has admitted interest in Marseille midfielder Florian Thauvin.

Thauvin comes off contract in June.

“He's player who will be at the end of the contract, so he's an interesting player from an economic point of view," Maldini told Telefoot.

“He's a player of a high level. It's not exactly the prototype of the players we have brought here in these two years, regarding his age.

“What he always says, however, is that the right mix is created by many young players with some more experienced who can give a little more.

“Surely, it's a profile that must be followed."
