Spartak Moscow's Salvatore Bocchetti is headed to Milan. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Bocchetti will make the move back to Italy on a loan deal with an option to buy in the summer. The player has arrived in Milan to undergo medicals.
Here is what the player said about his move to a new club:
"I haven't spoken with Inzaghi yet. I'm glad that Milan wanted me and I'm happy to return to Italy. It's what I wanted...I hope to return to La Nazionale. Playing as a fullback and a central defender? I'm ready to do it all for Milan."
Along with Bocchetti, Genoa's Luca Antonelli could join the Rossoneri in a swap deal that would send Pablo Armero the other way. This is still to be determined, however it seems to be a distinct possibility for Milan as they need an upgrade at fullback and in the middle of the backline.
Another name being talked about is Palermo's Ezequiel Muñoz. Milan have reportedly offered €1.5M for the permanent transfer of Muñoz, according to Sky. However, there is still no official agreement between the two clubs so much like the Antonelli-Armero swap, it remains to be seen if the deal will go through.
It has been a busy day for Milan, yet a disappointing one as well. Milan were defeated once again by 10-man Lazio 1-0 in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, ending one of their chances at European play. After the match, Inzaghi's fate was determined as well, with the first-time manager reportedly safe at the helm.
More news soon to follow on Milan so stay tuned.
