Milan have already closed the deal with Villarreal for Samuel Chukwueze, claim Sky Sport Italia, so all that remains are red tape details to be resolved within hours.
The transfer has effectively been completed, with both clubs and the player agreeing terms in every area.
It was believed that the final details would be sorted out today and contracts exchanged, which still seems to be the schedule.
According to the latest reports this evening, the only things remaining are simple bureaucratic matters.
The 24-year-old is a Nigeria international and therefore does not have an EU passport, so this makes the transfer a little more complicated in terms of red tape.
His contract with Villarreal was due to expire at the end of the current campaign and the deal is believed to be done for €20m plus another €8m in various performance-related bonuses.
Chukwueze is set to put pen to paper on a five-year contract and is the latest addition to the Milan attack with Christian Pulisic and Noah Okafor.
This team will be the most exciting in Italy to watch this season. FORZA MILAN ⚫️🔴
