AC Milan and Fiorentina have agreed a deal for Yacine Adli which will see the midfielder join them on an initial loan deal, according to a report.
According to MilanNews, Milan tried to include an obligation to buy during the discussions with La Viola, even a conditional one. However, Fiorentina never opened to that formula but instead agreed to pay a loan fee and insert an option to buy.
Ultimately, a handshake was done on the basis of a €2m loan for the season and a €10m option to buy in favour of Fiorentina. The Frenchman is expected in Florence to undergo a medical soon before signing his contract and then an official announcement will follow.
The former Bordeaux man did not train with Paulo Fonseca’s team yesterday precisely because of how close the move is. He wished to stay and convince the new head coach, but ultimately has accepted that a change in scenery is best for all parties.
Adli is set to become the 23rd player to move from the Rossoneri to La Viola. The last one in chronological order dates back to 2020 and was Giacomo Bonaventura, even if technically it is not exactly a direct transfer because his contract expired and he went on a free.
