Chelsea target Gonzalo Higuain is closing in on a season-long loan move to AC Milan.
According to The Mirror, Higuain is set to complete his switch to Milan this week, with talks planned for Tuesday.
The report claims that Juventus are trying to flog Higuain after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.
Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for Higuain throughout the summer but now look set to miss out on the forward.
The Mirror claim that Higuain was not willing to leave Italy and, thus, has rejected the chance to join Chelsea to seal a move to Milan.
Higuain does, however, want to be assured that Milan will make the deal permanent at the end of the season.
Chelsea have been looking for a new striker during the transfer window and will now have to look elsewhere for their new number nine.
