AC Milan are nervous about interest from abroad for Nigel de Jong.
Manchester United are being linked with a move for the former Manchester City midfielder ahead of the January market.
Tuttosport says Milan, aware of the United interest, are planning to open new contract talks with De Jong to convince him to stay.
A new deal worth over €3 million-a-year is being mooted, with De Jong a key member of coach Pippo Inzaghi's first team.
Only last week, De Jong spoke glowingly of Milan's management and their knack of extending the careers of experienced players.
