Zaza to Milan imminent

By Football Italia staff

Simone Zaza is reportedly on the verge of a move to Milan, with Nikola Kalinic heading to Atletico Madrid.

It emerged yesterday that the Valencia striker was in talks with the Rossoneri, but they need Kalinic to depart before a deal can be completed.

This morning’s Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Croatian is indeed on the verge of an exit, on loan with an option to buy which will become an obligation after a certain number of appearances.

That number is still being worked out between the clubs, but his departure will free up the funds for Zaza.

The Italian international has already agreed a four-year contract worth €2.5m per season, while Valencia are ready to accept a loan with €20m obligation to buy.

Zaza grew up supporting Milan, despite his previous spell with Juventus.
