Milan could re-open the transfer saga of the summer by asking Zenit for Belgium international Axel Witsel.
The 26-year-old creative midfielder had been in negotiations for weeks, but ultimately the Rossoneri baulked at his €25m asking price.
According to MilanNews.it, the club has not entirely given up hope and will try again during the January transfer window.
Fully aware that they ran out of time on deadline day, CEO Adriano Galliani is laying the groundwork for another push already.

Witsel has made it clear he will not renew the contract that expires in June 2017, so Zenit are under pressure to sell.
The main problem is that Milan want to take Witsel on loan with an option to buy rather than pay the fee outright.
