Maidana is 22-years-old and is said to have hugely impressed the Rossoneri during the recent FIFA Club World Cup last month.
The starlet, who has represented Argentina at Under-20 level, signed for Boca from Los Andes in 2005 and has since won two Copa Sudamericana’s and a Copa Libertadores with his current team.
Maidana is regarded by many as a future full international and is also attracting the interest of Juventus and Fiorentina.
Another Boca Juniors player who is receiving admiring glances from Serie A is defender Matias Silvestre.
The 23-year-old is a target for Lazio, who are desperate to strengthen their leaky backline during this month’s transfer window.
Silvestre grew up in the Boca youth system, before making his debut for the full side in 2003.
He has since gone on to win a host of trophies with the club, but like Maidana he is expected to move on to Europe in the very near future.
