AC Milan are plotting a major bid for Chelsea midfielder Oscar.

CalcioMercatoWeb says Antonio Conte is looking to shift the Blues into playing a 3-5-2 shape which could force the Brazilian out of his plans.

Milan are standing by with a huge £39m bid to bring the midfielder to the San Siro next summer.

The Serie A giants are hopeful their new-found wealth following their successful takeover by a Chinese consortium could tempt Oscar into making the move.

And Milan are also seeking a return to Champions League football for next season after a two-year absence from the competition.
