Many have wondered where Arsene Wenger will end up since he left Arsenal last summer. The Frenchman ended his long reign in north London and is yet to return to management, but he has promised to do so very soon.
According to France Football, Le Prof is close to being appointed as the boss at another European outfit. That team is none other than AC Milan.
The 69-year-old had been linked with a sporting director role at PSG. However, the former Gunners tactician has dismissed that and is now reportedly in negotiations to replace Gennaro Gattuso at the San Siro.
The current Rossoneri boss helped AC Milan earn a Europa League spot but they sit second in their group. Gattuso's men are in the race for a Champions League berth as they currently sit in fourth, but owner Paul Singer, a fan of Arsene, has given the green light to pursue the three-time Premier League winner.
One thing that could ease Wenger's arrival is the presence of Ivan Gazidis. The former Arsenal CEO recently announced his decision to leave the Emirates Stadium to make the switch the Italy. While his relationship with Arsene did hit turbulence on occasions, their familiarity with each other could push this deal over the finish line.
If this report is true, the Frenchman could also reunite with Aaron Ramsey, who has been linked with a move to AC Milan. The Welshman, who was a favorite under Le Prof, will soon be out of contract and could join the Serie A outfit for free.
Additionally, given that the Rossoneri plays in the Europa League this season, Wenger could return to the Emirates Stadium rather early should the Italian side face the Gunners later this season. Of course, this depends on whether Higuain and Co. can remain in the competition until Arsene's predicted New Year arrival.
