Milan have now secured a deal for France international Youssouf Fofana, who is expected to arrive in Italy to complete his medical tests before the Serie A season kicks off this weekend.
Milan set date for Fofana medical
Reports on Thursday afternoon confirm that Milan have agreed to pay a total package of €25m, understood to be made up of €23m and an additional €2m in bonuses.
The 25-year-old could potentially land in Milan by Friday, but he is definitely expected to be with his new club by Saturday at the latest.
The Rossoneri expect him to undergo a medical shortly after his arrival, which Sky claim will be on Friday. The club could then make an official announcement by Saturday.
The Rossoneri will then begin their 2024-25 Serie A campaign against Torino at home in San Siro on Saturday evening, kicking off at 19.45 BST.
Fofana is set to become the fourth first-team signing of the Paulo Fonseca ear, following the arrivals of Alvaro Morata, Strahinja Pavlovic and Emerson Royal.
Finally it is done. Congratulations. His signing has made us stronger than last season.
