Super Eagles midfielder, Joel Obi, is attracting interest from Italian giants AC Milan in the ongoing transfer window.
Reports in Italy claim Milan are mulling over a move for the Torino midfielder who began his career in with the Rossoneri’s bitter rivals Inter Milan.
Obi has entered the final twelve months of his contract with Torino and they are looking to sell him to recoup the majority of their previous investment on the player.
The fact that he has not been offered a new contract suggests that he is not in the plans of manager Walter Mazzarri for the forthcoming season.
Though the 27-year-old had been linked with Premier League club Crystal Palace plus Portuguese duo Benfica and Porto, the most concrete interest has come from Celta Vigo who saw a 5 million euros bid turned down by Torino.
He was named in Nigeria’s squad list for the 2018 World Cup but did not see any minutes during the tournament in Russia.
Joel Obi has made 110 appearances in the Serie A for Inter, Parma and Torino.
