AC Milan defender Cristian Zapata is in talks with Flamengo.

Zapata, 32, is being allowed to come off contract by Milan next month.

“I cannot lie, we are in discussions for Jemerson and Zapata, so will sign one or the other," Flamengo Vice-President Marcos Braz told Globoesporte.

Colombia international centre-back Zapata has been in Italy since 2005 with Udinese, then Milan in 2012 after one season at Villarreal.
