AC Milan sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli will fly to Germany this week to tie up a deal for Arsenal target Ricardo Rodriguez.
The left-back is set to leave Wolfsburg this summer after the club slumped to a dismal finish of 16th in the Bundesliga and they face a relegation play-off against Eintracht Braunschweiger to stay up.
Rodriguez will quit no matter what happens in that two-legged tie and it was reported he could join Arsenal.
But now, according to La Stampa, the Switzerland international is closing in on a move to Milan instead.
