Sampdoria defender could be AC Milan's first gift to Giampaolo

Sampdoria defender Joachim Andersen could reportedly be AC Milan's and Paolo Maldini's first gift to Marco Giampaolo.

With the rossoneri now without a manager after the exit of Rino Gattuso, the club is on the lookout for a new manager. Simone Inzaghi is set to stay at Lazio and Marco Giampaolo is now the favorite to take over the role and is already in talks.

A report from Corriere dello Sport states that Milan are interested in Andersen, who has witnessed a rise to prominence under Giampaolo at Sampdoria in the last two seasons.

Tomorrow is the day when Maldini will make a decision about his future at the rossoneri and Ivan Gazidis is expected to receive a positive response about a stay at the club.

Giampaolo is the first name on Maldini's list for appointing the next Milan manager and apart from Andersen, Dennis Praet could also be a player that could be brought to the San Siro along with Andersen.
