AC MILAN are reportedly in talks with Bournemouth to re-sign goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.
The former Chelsea stopper spent the second half of last season in Italy providing back up to 21-year-old Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Begovic, 33, only made two appearances in Milan, but it is understood they want the Bosnian back as their No2.
According to The Telegraph, the Serie A giants and Bournemouth have started talks over a deal for the keeper.
With the Cherries returning to the Championship, they could demand a fee for Begovic.
It would also allow them to ease the their wage bill.
It comes as Milan close in on a deal to extend Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s San Siro stay.
The Swedish striker re-joined the Serie A side midway through the 2019/20 season, where he scored 11 goals in 20 games.
Ibrahimovic and Milan have been locked in contract negotiations for weeks, with his agent Mino Raiola stating he is “optimistic” a deal could be reached.
He told Sky Sports Italia: “He won’t be there tomorrow, for the moment.
“We are still talking, but there is no agreement yet. It’s not about money, but of conviction and style.
“It takes two to make a marriage work and if Ibrahimovic didn’t want to remain with the Rossoneri, then there wouldn’t be a negotiation.”
