Milan will announce the signing of Marko Lazetic today and La Gazzetta dello Sport reports the striker has picked the jersey No.22, the same as his idol Kaka.
The 18-year-old underwent his medical examinations with the Rossoneri yesterday and Milan will announce his transfer in the coming hours.
The Diavoli will pay €3m over the next three years, adding €500,000 add-ons.
Lazetic has signed a five-year deal and replaces Pietro Pellegri, who has returned to Monaco before a new loan move to Torino.
The former Genoa starlet has only played six games this season and struggled with injuries during his six-month spell in Milan.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports Lazetic has chosen the jersey No. 22, the same as his idol Kaka.
The Brazilian legend played seven seasons at Milan, scoring 104 goals in 307 appearances.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are also among Lazetic’s role models and the 18-year-old will have the chance to train with the Sweden star at Milanello.

Welcome back Hans Peter!
To fellow Milan fans, although I am sure this is a shrewd piece of business, the fact that are rivals are signing marque players and we are playing affordable hunches will give some in sight on were will end up in the table!
I hate being negative but Milan need to come up with some money and spend soon if they hope to be a big player in Europe again.
@Acemilan Not going to happen. Wouldn’t even pay Kessie what he asked. With a vulture fund in charge we will have to get used to buying young and selling when they become valuable.
@ DB Milan
They haven’t sold anybody though. They just let the most valuable go for free!
This is laughable how we are treating this as a major signing. The kid is going to discover catenaccio in Italy & that defenders are much better at defending than his native Serbia. Straight to the primavera you go Lazetic to earn your chops.
@Milan Fan Oh I know, that’s a whole other annoyance.
