Gaston Ramirez is ready to leave Southampton, in favour of a summer move to Italian Serie A side AC Milan.
The Uruguay international has failed to live up to expectations since a £12 million deal from Serie A side Bologna in the summer of 2012.
Ramirez has made just 17 League appearances this season, having been a regular under Nigel Adkins last season.
The midfielder could link up with Manager Seedorf, who is set to overhaul his squad.
The players agent stated….
“It would be a weighty inheritance to replace Kaka, but an honour for Gaston. How could you say no to Milan, who are one of the best clubs in Europe?
“It would be an important opportunity for him. We are trying to understand which team can make the right offer to Saints.
“Ramirez played very well in Italy and many Serie A clubs remember him positively.
“Ramirez was very happy in Serie A and would be content to come back to Italy, but first any club needs to reach an agreement with Southampton.
“Has it been a season to forget? Absolutely yes. He hardly ever plays, yet two summers ago the club made an important investment to buy him.
Juventus, Lazio and Roma have also expressed an interest in the player.
