Taarabt to Milan

By Football Italia staff

Adel Taarabt is set to arrive in Milan tonight on loan from Fulham and QPR, removing Cristian Zaccardo from the deal.

It had originally been conceived as an exchange of six-month loans between defender Zaccardo and creative midfielder Taarabt.

However, according to Sport Mediaset and La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan have removed Zaccardo from the situation after he failed to agree personal terms with Fulham and are negotiating just to take Taarabt on loan.

The Moroccan would fly in tomorrow morning at 9.30 GMT and have his medical, signing on a six-month loan with option to buy at the end of the season for €7m.

Milan Channel, the official television station of the club, also confirmed Taarabt is close to signing on loan until June 30 2014.

Although he is currently on loan at Fulham, Taarabt is owned by QPR. FIFA intermediary Vincenzo Morabito confirmed the move was close to completion on Tuesday.
