AC Milan have made Michael Essien their main transfer target this summer despite his agent insisting the midfielder will stay at Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Fabian Pivateau said last week that his client will honour his contract with the Blues when rumours of the move to AC Milan emerged.<\/p>\n

But rumours of an immiment move for Essien continues in the Italian media after yesterday\u2019s declaration by AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi that they go on a shopping spree.<\/p>\n

Fresh from winning the Serie A title two weeks ago, the Italian side are said to already be planning for next season and have drawn up a wish-list of potential transfer targets.<\/p>\n

Having been knocked out of the Champions League by Spurs this season, Milan are now rumoured to be preparing to go on a shopping spree in London to strengthen their squad for next campaign, with owner Silvio Berlusconi promising fans a number of high-profile signings.<\/p>\n

Essien is one of a number of players linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in the summer, with owner Roman Abramovich expected to make widespread changes to his Chelsea squad by releasing a number of the club\u2019s older and fringe players.<\/p>\n

AC Milan are believed to be tracking the Ghanaian midfielder\u2019s progress and are expected to make a bid in the region of \u00a318million for the 28-year-old in the next couple of months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
