AC Milan 'make fresh Alessio Romagnoli bid'

AC Milan have reportedly submitted an improved bid for Roma defender Alessio Romagnoli.

Romagnoli played under new Rossoneri coach Sinisa Mihajlovic during their time at Sampdoria, before the 20-year-old left last season.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Milan are looking to reinforce their back line and are keen to lure the highly-rated defender to the San Siro.

Despite having previous bids rejected by the Giallorossi, it is thought that AC have returned with an offer of around €20m (£14.3m).

However, with Roma said to be holding out for nearer €30m, the Rossoneri may turn their attention to Torino's Nikola Maksimovic if they are unsuccessful in their pursuit of the youngster.
