AC Milan are believed to be considering loaning out striker M’Baye Niang.
The Rossoneri beat several clubs to the signature of the promising 17-year-old, but feel Niang may not be receiving the minutes on the pitch he needs to develop at the San Siro.
And so, with Milan well aware of interest in the France Under-21 international from sides in England and France, the possibility of a loan is real.
Niang joined Milan from French Ligue 2 side Caen, after the club’s vice-president Adriano Galliani personally travelled to France to close the deal.
The forward had been on the verge of signing for Premier League outfit Everton, but eventually opted to continue his career in Italy.
Niang has played just one minute in Serie A this season, being brought on as a late substitute.

Niang played 23 games in Ligue 1 last season, but was unable to help Caen avoid relegation.
