The 38-year-old is undergoing his medical examinations this morning and will sign a one-year deal with the Rossoneri with an option for a further season.

Mirante was drafted in because Milan’s third-choice goalkeeper Alessandro Plizzari had also undergone surgery at the end of the September and will remain out of action for three months.

Ciprian Tatarusau is likely to be promoted to first-choice goalkeeper while Maignan recovers from his injury.
