Everton boss Rafa Benitez has reportedly given the 'green light' for the Club to sign AC Milan defender Alessio Romagnoli, according to TEAMtalk

The 26-year-old is believed to have turned down a contract extension from the Italian side, with his current deal expiring next summer.

Romagnoli has captained Milan for their past three league matches, securing two wins and a draw alongside two clean sheets. 

The Liverpool Echo claims the Blues have considered signing free-agent Serge Aurier but there has not been an offer made at this stage. 

The former Tottenham Hotspur full-back is out-of-contract and without a club at present.
