Filippo Terracciano is one step away from cimpoleting a move to AC Milan. The medical tests have been scheduled for Monday, a report claims, and this means he could perhaps make his debut in the game against Roma at the weekend.
As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio this evening, Milan have reached an agreement with Hellas Verona for the transfer of Terracciano. The Rossoneri will pay €4.5m plus an additional €1m in bonuses, while there will also be a 10% resale clause in favour of the Bentegodi side.
The final details related to Terracciano’s contract have been sorted this evening and the medical tests are scheduled for Monday. This means that he could perhaps make his debut against Roma, and perhaps he will be in the squad on Wednesday against Atalanta (Coppa Italia).
It will be Milan’s second January signing, having already brought back Matteo Gabbia early from his loan at Villarreal. The defence, although mostly the centre-back position, has struggled with depth and the reinforcement is a welcome one.
As was explained by Peppe Di Stefano earlier today, Terracciano’s arrival is important above all because of the 20-year-old’s versatility. He can play on both sides of the defence, but also in the midfield. Given that he’s Italian, he’s also good for the squad lists.
Welcome to Milan! I’m glad Milan moved for him so we don’t have another future regret. Trust the scouting
Now we don’t need any defenders after this buy, we only need a good midfielder ä
The news said he also can play as midfielder. So maybe he will play more as midfielder.
What is “cimpoleting”?
I like the player and I like his versatility.
I don’t understand signing players like this in January.
If this guy and Calafiori had been properly scouted they’d be Milan players already and who knows how different our season would look.
I don’t know who’s this kid so i’m gonna wait and see how he can do with Milan shirt.
This should shut up some of the whinging about signing Italian players at least.
“Justified whining” should be added
