The 30-year-old has been a fixed feature of the Spanish and Italian sports papers in recent months, with always more stories emerging linking him to a return to Italy.
With the latest statement by Milan's chief officer Adriano Galliani the chances of the rumours turning into reality have significantly heightened, though it is now more likely to be in June as opposed to January.
"Last week at the Uefa meeting I officially told Barcelona officials of Milan's interest in Zambrotta," Galliani revealed.
"Barca president Joan Laporta told me we will speak again in a couple of month, but from now until June he'll remain at Barcelona."
The ex-Juve star has had his moments, but not with the same level of consistency that had made him such a revered professional in recent years and many put this down to personal problems stemming from homesickness.
Milan have long been held as potential suitors for the Italian international in their search for a replacement for their iconic captain Paolo Maldini, who set to retire this summer following a glittering career.
