Milan close in on Cissokho Saturday 13 June, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Milan have found the heir to Paolo Maldini and offered to quadruple the wages of Porto's Aly Cissokho.
The full-back was picked by new Coach Leonardo to freshen up the Rossoneri defence, above all in terms of putting more attacking verve down the flanks.
It's reported Leonardo flew to Portugal for a meeting with Cissokho, who has been one of the revelations of Porto this season.
The French youngster will turn 22 later this year and his price-tag has been set at around £11m.
An attacking left-back with real power and pace, he would fill the role once taken by Maldini, while Milan already have Thiago Silva to take over in central defence.
Cissokho also stated earlier this summer that he has received interest from Tottenham.
"I know big clubs are looking at me. I have a contract until 2012 and the club officials want me to add another year to that," said Cissokho.
"That shows they have trust in me and I am proud of that. I also know there are big clubs looking at me, and Tottenham is one of them and that is fine.
"I will talk with my club and we will see what happens from there. We will just wait until the end of the season and then see."
