AC Milan are ready to battle Liverpool for Micah Richards this summer.
Richards, 25, is expected to leave Manchester City after rejecting a new five-year deal earlier this season. It will bring to an end his 13-year association with the club he joined as a schoolboy in 2001.
A combination of injuries and the form of Pablo Zabaleta has seen the former Academy graduate reduced to a bit-part player.
Richards' present deal expires at the end of next season and City will look to cash in this summer, rather than allowing the right-back to leave for free.
Milan have sounded out the player's representatives about a switch to Serie A after getting a recommendation from his former City team-mate Mario Balotelli.
However, Liverpool still have Richards on their wish-list after a loan bid was rejected in January.
