CorSera: Messias’ permanent Milan deal will be announced in the coming days

The permanent deal for Junior Messias to join AC Milan will be finalised and announced in the coming days, a report claims. 

As has been reported by Corriere della Sera (via Milan News), Milan have agreed on a fee with Crotone for Messias and it is just a matter of days until the deal is officially announced to the fans.

The Brazilian player spent last season on loan at Milan from Crotone after they were relegated to Serie B.

Milan wanted to sign him permanently this summer but there has been a delay as they wanted to pay a lower fee than Crotone were demanding. The Rossoneri have managed to get the figure down to €4 million which leaves more money available for other deals.

Messias was a very useful player for Stefano Pioli in rotation with Alexis Saelemaekers on the right-hand side.

He scored five times in 26 appearances for the Diavolo last season.
