Pennant: AC interest
AC Milan are reported to have offered Jermaine Pennant a move to Serie A.
The Italian giants are believed to have made their move for the Liverpool winger, believing he will provide an excellent wide option in their squad.
Reports in England and Italy state that Milan are ready to finalise a pre-contract with the 25-year-old.
Pennant is out of contract at Anfield this summer and looks unlikely to sign a new deal with the club after failing out of favour under Rafa Benitez.
Milan have not been the only side looking at Pennant, with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Juventus all linked - but now he looks as if he could be bound for a dream move to the San Siro.
The Corriere Dello Sport claim that a deal could be announced by Milan this week.
