The Italian club need a replacement for the injured Andrea Conti

Barcelona and the player are not thinking about a transfer right now

According to Sport Mediaset, Milan will once again ask Barcelona about the availibility of Aleix Vidal. Despite being told 'no' in the past, the Italian club will make another move for the Catalan. The lack of minutes he's currently getting under Valverde has re-opened the debate about his future. 

Milan need a signing for the right win after Andrea Conti was ruled out with a serious injury. The 3-5-2 system would fit Vidal and he would be able to focus more on attack than defence, something which he prefers. 

However, Valverde still counts on him having moved him forward from last season's full-back role. With Semedo and Sergi Roberto at right-back, Vidal remains an option for the Barça coach in a more attacking role. 

It doesn't seem, therefore, that Barça or Vidal will accept Milan's advances. The player is happy at Barcelona, especially now he's playing in a more advanced position and he has a better relationship with Valverde than he had with Luis Enrique.
