According to Italian sports daily Tuttosport, Milan are set to offer Chelsea 30 million Euros for the services of Didier Drogba.
With the never-ending problems concerning Ronaldo continuing, the Rossoneri are looking around in the market to find a striker of the highest level in order to have a deadly attack line for next season.
With Pato being hailed as the new best striker in the world by president Silvio Berlusconi and coach Carlo Ancelotti, Milan now want a partner for him and Kaka.
According to the latest speculation coming from Italy, the world club champions are preparing a bid of 30m for the services of Drogba, who has often been linked to a move to Milan in the past seasons.
The fact that the striker wants to play in the Olympics in August has already upset the Chelsea bosses, and there has also been plenty of fallout from his volatile comments following Jose Mourinho's departure - something that has upset Roman Abramovich personally.
Then of course, there is the issue of his current injury, with the Ivorian insisting on an immediate operation as opposed to soldiering on for a couple of weeks.
Both parties are unhappy with the way things have panned out over the last couple of months. While all that has been brushed under the carpet for now, it will all be discussed in detail over the summer, and a move away from Stamford Bridge is very much possible.
With Amauri not for sale according to Palermo's director of sports, Rino Foschi, signing the Ivorian seems like the only way for Milan to bring in a player who can guarantee a number of matches per season, unlike Ronaldo, who has featured just once in the last 6 months.
