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.
