Report: Destro set for Milan medical

By Football Italia staff

There are reports Mattia Destro will undergo a Milan medical, as Roma need to sell him before signing Luiz Adriano.

According to Sport Mediaset the striker has booked a medical for Wednesday.

Milan had not disguised their interest in the centre-forward, but abandoned earlier plans to sign him on loan with option to buy for €21m.

It is now claimed that the clubs have worked out different terms, with Milan paying substantially more than €1m for the loan – which could well be 18 months – and several buy-out clauses that can be activated at various times.

This suits Roma, who can then reinvest that money in signing Luiz Adriano from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Milan were also prompted into action by news today that Stephan El Shaarawy has fractured a metatarsal in his foot.

The Little Pharoah will wear a protective cast for six weeks before another check-up, so it’s not clear how long he will be out of action for.
