Italian news outlet Corriere dello Sport reports the Rossoneri are eyeing a surprising move for the midfielder and see him acting as cover for Lucas Biglia.

Sung-Yueng is a free agent in the summer and admitted he is yet to speak to the Swans about a new contract in December.

Ki said: “We have not talked with the club, we just want to focus on these games.

“If we are out of the relegation trouble then maybe it will be a better time to talk.

He has made 15 appearances this season, scoring once and making one assist.

Despite his poor return, boss Gennaro Gattuso and chief Massimiliano Mirabelli have showed an interest in the 29-year-old.

Meanwhile, Mirabelli has been in the news recently after saying he felt “sorry for Arsenal” after they were given a trip to the San Siro in the Europa League round of 16.

Milan’s sporting director has no doubts that his team will end Arsenal’s European involvement for another year when they meet in two weeks’ time.

He said after Friday’s draw: “I am sorry for Arsenal because I am sure they would have liked to continue in Europe.

“It would have been a nice final, but I’m happy meet them in the last 16.”

“It’s a big test to face a big club like Arsenal now. We need opponents like this.”

It is only six years since the teams met in the last 16 of the Champions League, with Arsenal losing 4-0 at the San Siro before winning the return leg 3-0 at the Emirates.
