According to the Torino Sport newspaper, Milan's technical director Maldini contacted Lille midfielder Sanchez's agent Mendes, and if the renewal with Casey cannot make progress, then Milan will seek to sign Sanchez as a replacement for Casey.
Casey has still not renewed his contract with Milan and his contract expires on June 30. It seems that the longer the matter drags on, the less likely it is to complete the renewal, so that Milan have begun to look for a replacement for Casey.
Maldini has been in touch with Jorge Mendes, the agent of Lille midfielder Sanchez, one of Milan's targets of particular concern, while Milan is also negotiating with Mendes about Leo's contract extension.
Sanchez's contract with Lille will expire in a year and a half, and it seems that he has no intention of renewing Lille's contract. In addition to Milan, there are also teams from the Premier League and the Bundesliga who are interested in signing Sanchez, and the competition is very fierce. As a result, Milan will not wait indefinitely for Sanchez to decide on his future, but will see Sanchez as one of Casey's replacements.
