AC Milan Star Set to Sign New Deal Despite Juventus Eyeing Defender as Medhi Benatia Replacement

Juventus are reportedly eyeing AC Milan defender Alessio Romagnoli as Medhi Benatia's replacement with the latter linked with a move to French side Marseille.

Romagnoli has formed a formidable centre back partnership with former Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci which has caught the eye of the Old Lady.

While Juventus are plotting a move for the 23-year-old, but Calciomercato have since revealed that Romagnoli is set to sign an extension with Milan despite interest from Massimiliano Allegri's side.

The defender's current deal sees him earn €2m-a-season, but he's now set to earn €3.
