Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) were reportedly interested in the 25-year-old.
The former Atalanta ace has long looked certain to leave Milan. That’s mainly because he apparently wanted an unlikely pay package – rumoured to be £6m plus bonuses – to sign a new deal.
Meanwhile, Spaniard Cesar Azpilicueta is also inching closer to a move to Barca.
Azpilicueta is also a free agent in the summer after failing to agree a contract extension with Chelsea and has been regularly linked with a move to Barcelona.
