Serie A giants AC Milan are reportedly monitoring Joao Cancelo's situation at Manchester City.
Cancelo has struggled for minutes with the Blues since returning from the World Cup. In recent weeks Rico Lewis and Nathan Ake have been preferred to the Portugal international as Pep Guardiola looks to find a consistent winning formula.
Now The Sun claim that Milan and several other clubs are aware of Cancelo's current predicament and are waiting to see if they can make a move for the 28-year-old. Any bid for the full-back would have to be substantial considering his contract is set to expire in 2027.

Last season, Cancelo was one of City's star performers as they won the Premier League so the Portuguese defender will be hopeful that he can transform his current fortunes.
Elsewhere, a report from Spanish journalist Jose Alvarez on El Chiringuito suggests that a mass exodus is on the horizon at the Etihad.
According to Alvarez, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker, Aymeric Laporte and Cancelo are all plotting to leave City. Blues captain Gundogan is the most likely of the five to leave with his contract expiring at the end of the season.
Bernardo also claimed recently that he sees himself taking on another project at some stage but admitted that it would be difficult for clubs to buy him before his contract expires in 2025. Walker and Laporte have contracts running out in 2024 and 2025 respectively and while neither man is a preferred option at the moment, it does not appear that they are unhappy at the club.
Spanish media have been claiming in recent weeks that Gundogan is a target for Barcelona. The German is reportedly seen as the successor to Sergio Busquets at Camp Nou.
