Lille sports chief Luis Campos is a target for AC Milan.
Milan football chief Leonardo is under pressure with the club's owners unconvinced by his work in the transfer market this past year.
Gazzetta dello Sport says the Brazilian could be squeezed out and replaced by Campos.
Lille president Gerard Lopez is eager to hold onto Campos, though is becoming increasingly resigned to losing the Portuguese to a bigger club.
And Milan have identified Campos as a direct replacement for Leonardo this summer.
