Milan lock down Simeone?

By Football Italia staff

It’s claimed Milan have an agreement to sign Genoa striker Giovanni Simeone this summer.

The Grifone bought out the remainder of the 21-year-old’s River Plate contract earlier today, and reportedly rejected a €20m offer from Villarreal.

Now Tuttomercatoweb is reporting that the Rossoneri have an agreement to sign Simeone - son of Atletico Madrid Coach Diego - in the summer.

The transfer would be continent on Chinese consortium Sino-Europe Sports completing their takeover of the Rossoneri, and would also likely mean the sale of Carlos Bacca.

Simeone has scored 11 goals in all competitions already this season, including a double in the 3-3 draw with Fiorentina on Sunday.
