More details are emerging on the verbal agreement between Milan and Valencia for Yunus Musah, as the final cost will be €18m plus bonuses due to several factors.
Multiple sources from Italy and Spain are confident a deal will be completed over the weekend, as they are now down to the final details.
The Rossoneri never wavered from their valuation of €18m, so it is Valencia who agreed over the last 24 hours to drop the original €25m asking price.
It will still be somewhat bridged by the inclusion of bonuses, which Calciomercato.com claim will be €2m plus another €1m in harder to activate add-ons.
The 20-year-old USMNT starlet had a pivotal role by refusing all other proposals, including from Everton, West Ham, Fulham and Monaco, as he had his heart set on San Siro.
The central midfielder was a product of the Arsenal academy and has joint British and American citizenship.
This week, the FIGC also agreed to treat British and Swiss players under the same rules as EU member states, therefore opening up more transfer slots for them in Serie A teams.
