AC Milan and Genoa are set to go into partnership to sign Netherlands international and Feyenoord defender Bruno Martins Indi.
It is believed that they are about to make a 7 million euro bid for the 21 year-old centre back who can also play as a full back but they will face competition from the likes of Tottenham and also Everton.
But the Dutch team want a figure of around 10 million euros, so they will either have to settle for less or demand a higher bid from the two teams.
Milan who would probably be the team which Martins Indi goes to, have had poor defensive records over the past few seasons with many players not up to scratch at the back.
It is not the first time that Milan and Genoa have done this with Prince Boateng joining the two clubs on the same premises where he joined from Portsmouth.
