Italian giants AC Milan are said to be intrested in Blackburn full back Lucas Neill. The Austrailian has performed very well in the last few years and this has caught the atention of one of Europe's biggest clubs, and it has also been said that Newcastle and Middlesborough were monitoring the situation. However, Milan are now believed to be keeping a close check on Neill - who has 20 months left to run on his current deal at Ewood Park. "Yes we have fielded a number of enquiries, but that is to be expected given how Lucas has been playing," his agent Peter Harrison confirmed to skysports.com.

"He is currently very happy at Blackburn and is looking forward to next month when he will try and help Australia to the World Cup finals. "He has just over a year left on his current deal at the moment and we will have to see what develops." Milan are believed to be checking on prospective replacements for Brazilian veteran Cafu and Neill is believed to be one of those now under consideration.

Bizzare intrest in Neill from Inter with all due respect to Neill. I know Neill has performed well in the past few years for Blackburn but I just don't see him playing football at the very highest level like Champions League. Surely AC have enough money to go out and by one of the best right backs in the world.
