Milan are considering the option of replacing the departing Serginho with Udinese full-back Andrea Dossena, according to reports.
The veteran Brazilian, 36, ended his Rossoneri career on Sunday after nine years with the outfit and the club are looking for a similar flying wing-back.
Dossena could be that man after his sensational campaign at the Friuli saw him win international recognition and the interest of Liverpool.
Some reports in Italy on Wednesday are suggesting that Milan sporting director Ariedo Braida has discussed the player with Udinese counterpart Pietro Leonardi.
Talks are set to continue between both parties, but the feeling is that an agreement could be imminent.
Udinese, who have a reputation for unearthing talents, signed the 26-year-old from Treviso in the summer of 2006.
Dossena, whose only previous club was Verona, will probably be replaced in Friuli by Paolo Castellini after Parma were relegated on Sunday.
Juventus and Roma have also been tentatively associated with the versatile Dossena.
