Florent Malouda

Milan are locked in talks with Chelsea with a view to signing French winger Florent Malouda in a high-powered deal, according to reports in Italy.

New details emerging in the Italian press seem to contradict reports in England which claimed Malouda was ready to commit his future at Stamford Bridge. The player himself hinted that he wanted to stay, but Italian news station Sky Sport Italia has other ideas.

The report suggests both clubs are holding talks over Malouda's future after Milan coach Leonardo reportedy expressed his desire for a winger who can push forward to suit his new tactical system. The coach seems to have found his man, and negotiations are progressing well.

Neither club have made an official announcement though. The latest news comes just 24 hours after voices in England claimed Malouda was on the verge of signing a new deal at the club worth €75,000 per week.
