Taiwo and QPR Coach Mark Hughs
Rossoneri coach Massimiliano Allegri is keen to add some more depth to his midfield this winter, and the trainer has earmarked the 19-year-old Merkel as the perfect addition to the squad.
Merkel is a product of the Stuttgart youth academy, and moved to AC Milan in the summer of 2008. The midfielder made his official first team debut in December 2010, but left the Serie A giants for Genoa on a co-ownership deal last summer.
He has since put in a number of impressive performances at the Luigi Ferraris outfit, and AC Milan are now keen to bring him back to Italy's fashion capital, with Taiwo moving in the other direction.
The left-back joined Massimiliano Allegri's men from Marseille at the start of the 2011-12 campaign, but has been unable to cement a place in the first team so far.
Taiwo has been linked to some other big clubs in England and France but so far nothing has come out from the speculations.
His agent, Fabio Parisi, recently denied Arsenal were in the hunt for the Nigerian, insisting the player would be in Italy even after the close of the winter transfer window.
“At the moment there is no huge news about Nigerian players, with Arsenal there was only a rumour. I certainly don't know that Arsene Wenger is looking for a left-back but at this time there has not been any official offer at AC Milan,” Parisi said.
