As expected, Yacine Adli is on the Girondins de Bordeaux bench against Olympique Marseille this evening, a big hint his transfer to Milan is in the final stages.
L’Equipe had reported this was the plan and the line-ups confirm the midfielder is left out of tonight’s big Ligue 1 trip.
Milan have intensified negotiations with Bordeaux for the 21-year-old, hoping to get the deal over the line for €10m including performance-related bonuses.
A four-year contract has been drawn up for the versatile midfielder, with an option for an extra season.
He can play both in a defensive role and as a trequartista behind the strikers.
Calciomercato.com are confident Adli is expected in Italy over the next few days for his Milan medical and to complete the transfer.
Adli was already a target, but the situation became more urgent after Franck Kessie sustained a muscular injury that will keep him out of action for several weeks.
