AC Milan are in line to make a capital gain from the sale of Milos Kerkez, which has somewhat surprisingly come to fruition today.
According to the Calciomercato.com, the 18-year-old defender is heading for AZ Alkmaar and not on a loan deal either, because the Eredivisie side will pay €2m to sign him on a permanent basis and there will not even be a buy-back clause in favour of the Rossoneri.
As MilanLive add, the sale of Kerkez to AZ Alkmaar generates a capital gain for the balance sheet because the left-back moved to Italy in February 2021 for €200k from FC Gyor, which means that a gain of over €1.8m will be recorded.
It was reported at the time that Milan had to beat the competition of Juventus and other European clubs to secure him, but the fact Theo Hernandez is one of the best in the world in his position and the summer signing of Fode Ballo-Toure from Monaco ultimately blocked his path.
