AC Milan are in talks with Dinamo Zagreb for midfielder Marcelo Brozovic.
Milan chiefs have made Brozovic their priority signing and the young Croatian has welcomed the prospect of moving to Italy in January.
The two clubs are now in talks and Milan have asked Dinamo for time to offload some fringe midfielders and raise funds to meet their asking price.
For the moment, Dinamo have agreed, with Brozovic making it clear he favours Milan if he is to leave next month.
The outline of a deal has already been agreed, it's now a question of whether Milan can raise the necessary funds.
