The Egypt international joined Besiktas on loan at the start of the season but could still eventually make the move to Serie A
Mohamed Elneny's agent has revealed that AC Milan were among multiple clubs that tried to sign his client in last winter's transfer window but would not comment on rumours linking the midfielder with a January move to San Siro.
The Egypt international saw his playing time with Arsenal dry up last season, as the midfielder made just 17 appearances in all competitions for the Gunners.
Elneny nearly left the club last January, but his agent said he ended up staying in north London despite interest from the Rossoneri.
