Milan ‘agree Saint-Maximin deal’

Milan have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Nice winger Allan Saint-Maximin for €20m plus bonuses.

According to Sport Mediaset, Nice ‘appreciated’ Milan’s respectful pursuit of Saint-Maximin in the final week of the January transfer window and have accepted a bid.

Saint-Maximin would have also agreed a five-year contract with the Rossoneri, but the broadcaster stresses the deal is likely to depend on Champions League qualification.

Saint-Maximin would have also agreed a five-year contract with the Rossoneri, but the broadcaster stresses the deal is likely to depend on Champions League qualification.

Nonetheless, the France Under-21 international will only have a year left on his contract this summer, putting his side in a difficult negotiating position. 

Agent Marko Kirdemir also confirmed last week the 21-year-old ‘liked’ Milan as a destination and that a transfer was ‘possible’ in the summer.

Saint-Maximin has scored six goals and assisted three in 23 appearances for Nice this season.
