Mateo Kovacic, a star for Chelsea, "offers himself" to another club during heated transfer negotiations in London.
The 28-year-old's contract expires at the end of next season and he could be on his way out of Graham Potter's side.
Kovacic reportedly informed AC Milan that he would be open to joining them.
Club executives Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara were in London on Wednesday for the Italian team's Champions League match against Tottenham.
The player and his reps allegedly met with Pianeta Milan in a hotel to explore a possible transfer.
Also, they claim that the midfielder intends to depart Chelsea this summer as Todd Boehly is ready to make more changes to his team.
He might be one of the twelve players ejected from Stamford Bridge this summer.
Kovacic, who is currently in his fifth season with the Blues, has made 210 appearances for the team and assisted them in winning the Champions League in 2021.
The Croatian has had another successful season, leading his country to third place at the World Cup and playing in 26 games for Chelsea.
Although Thiago Silva and Cesar Azpilicueta are sidelined with injuries, he has also led the team in their previous two victories over Borussia Dortmund and Leicester.
After spending three seasons between 2012 and 2015 playing for rival Inter Milan, the former Real Madrid star's transfer to the San Siro would be contentious.
Manchester City has been mentioned in connection with Kovacic in the past.
