Milan have set their sights on Zenit St Petersburg and Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes for the January market.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, director Leonardo is hard at work on more targets after securing a €35m plus bonuses deal for Flamengo forward Paqueta.

The next reinforcement is in midfield, where 24-year-old Paredes fits the bill.

He is already familiar with Serie A due to his time at Chievo, Empoli and Roma, who sold him to Zenit in the summer of 2017 for €23m plus bonuses.

Zenit St Petersburg striker Sebastian Driussi rejected a move to Sampdoria in part because his wife is expecting, said his agent.

Sportitalia claim the Argentine hitman had several reasons for turning down the possible transfer, including personal situations.

“Don’t believe the rumours in the media, I don’t know anything about a transfer,” agent Marcelo Simonian told championat.ru.

“Driussi is a Zenit player and nothing has changed. Besides, his wife is pregnant and right now he wants to stay in St Petersburg.”
