Taiwo keen on AC Milan stay

Reports have suggested that the 26-year-old could leave the Italian side in January. Benfica are reportedly among the clubs interested in the defender.

Taiwo’s agent Fabio Parisi told calciomercato.com: “I don’t think that any of these rumours will materialise into anything.

“He is having a great time at AC Milan and in time he will get more chances to play. I have not had any contact with Benfica’s representatives.”

On reports linking Taiwo with a move to the Premier League, Parisi added: “There is nothing concrete. He has only been at Milan for a short period of time and his goal now is to get in the team, so that he can make a larger contribution.”
