Milan look increasingly likely to make a January swoop for Barcelona defender Gianluca Zambrotta.

The ex-Juventus star is believed to be desperate to return to the peninsula as his wife is homesick and the Rossoneri have been following him for some time.

Diavolo Vice-President Adriano Galliani has ruled out any transfer activity before June, but it is now being suggested that a move may take place sooner rather than later.

According to El Mundo Deportivo, Zambrotta is frustrated at finding less and less space in the Barça side and is keen to talk to Milan as soon as possible.

There are still two years left on the 30-year-old’s contract at the Nou Camp, but it is expected that a fee of just £3m would be enough to convince the Blaugranas to release him.

Zambrotta has made 46 appearances for the Catalan giants since arriving in the summer of 2006 in the aftermath of the Calciopoli scandal.
