Tuttosport claim on Monday that AC Milan are still determined to get Davide Santon from Newcastle United.
United want a £10m fee for Santon, who has a contract until June 2016, and AC Milan need to strengthen in several areas this summer so it's no surprise they've come up with something of an alternative offer.
The Italian claims are that AC Milan will offer Newcastle United Kevin Constant and M'Baye Niang in an exchange.
Niang is a 19 year old forward who was much wanted when he left Caen in 2012.
He joined Montpellier on loan in January but was soon in trouble when he crashed his Ferrari into several cars and a tree, injuring people, and left the scene. Niang subsequently got an 18 month suspended prison sentence.
It's no surprise, in addition to the player's inability to impress in Italy, that AC Milan want rid.
Kevin Constant is 27 years old and can play in defence and midfield, he played 26 times for AC Milan last season. His primary position is left back and AC Milan's thinking is perhaps that they wouldn't need him with Santon and they could feel Newcastle United would be interested in him for the left back position.
