European champions AC Milan are preparing to outbid their Serie A rivals Parma for the services of Manchester United’s Italian striker Giuseppe Rossi.

The Italy U-21 star is thought to have become surplus to requirements at Old Trafford now that Carlos Tevez appears all set to become a Red Devil.

Rossi impressed while on loan at Parma last year and the Gialloblu have made an offer –thought to be £6.5 million- for the player, who is also on the radar of Juventus and Porto. Milan should have no problem bettering Parma’s bid and are expected to weigh in with an official proposal by the middle of the week.

The Rossoneri will be short on striking options once Ricardo Oliveira completes his expected loan move to Real Zaragoza as the only out-and-out strikers they currently have on the roster are Gilardino, Inzaghi and Ronaldo.
