Italian champions AC Milan face stiff competition for Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien.
After over five years at Chelsea, Essien is considering a new adventure and is a favourite of Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri.
However, Real Madrid are also keen, where Essien�s former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho is now in charge, as are Bayern Munich.
Bayern are regarded as favourites for the Ghana international, who is understood to favour a move to Germany should he leave London this summer.
The Bavarians had a difficult campaign last term and want to win the Bundesliga this season.
