AC Milan are reportedly keen to re-sign Genoa midfielder Alexander Merkel, with Taye Taiwo set to be included in the deal for the German.
Tuttosport reported Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is keen to add some more depth to his midfield in January, and has earmarked the 19-year-old Merkel as the perfect addition to the squad.
Merkel is a product of the Stuttgart youth academy, and moved to AC Milan in 2008.
He made his official first-team debut in December 2010, but left the Serie A giants for Genoa on a co-ownership deal at the end of last season.
He has since put in a number of impressive performances for the Luigi Ferraris outfit, and AC Milan are now keen to bring him back to San Siro, with Taiwo moving in the other direction.
The Nigerian left-back joined Allegri’s men from Marseille at the start of the 2011/12 campaign, but has been unable to cement a place in the first team so far.
