AC Milan are hopeful of wrapping up the signing of Manchester City's Kyle Walker after further talks on Friday.
Milan are waiting on whether City will allow the 34-year-old to leave on a free before making official contact and the Italians will offer him a two-and-a-half year contract.
That deal will rule out Milan from signing another British player this window such as Marcus Rashford.
The Manchester United striker remains a target for Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona while Napoli have considered an approach.
Milan have Chelsea's Joao Felix on a list of potential alternative targets.
