AC Milan Transfer News: Galliani Meets with Agent of Real Madrid's Nuri Sahin

According to reports, AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has met at the club's training facility with the agent of Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin.

The 23-year-old Turkish international has found life difficult at the Santiago Bernabeu, and while he claims to want to stay, he would likely leave to get more playing time on another world class club.

Sahin, the 2010-11 Bundesliga Player of the Year on Borussia Dortmund's title-winning team, has also been linked with Italy's top clubs, including Juventus and Inter Milan, who were considered the favorites, but on Wednesday, Reza Fazeli, Sahin's agent, was at Milanello to discuss the possibility of a move.

Sahin played only 10 times for Real Madrid in 2011-12, dealing with a knee injury and finding it difficult to adjust to life in Spain and find time in the lineup.

Milan are looking to replace the old guard in the midfield, and they have already brought in two center midfielders: Riccardo Montolivo and Bakaye Traore. Sahin is among several midfielders linked with the club, including Kevin Strootman, Wesley Sneijder and Paulo Henrique Ganso.
