AC Milan will soon complete the signing of Matija Popovic as the forward has landed in Italy ahead of undergoing his medical, reports claim.
Calciomercato.com report that Popovic is approaching Milan. The Serbian attacking midfielder convinced the Rossoneri with his performances at the last U17 European Championships and he has now landed in the city.
A new meeting is scheduled for the afternoon to define the final details and agree a contract until 2028, with the main thing being the commissions that his entourage will receive.
Milan have a clear advantage over Manchester City, who in recent days tried to steal him from the Rossoneri. The negotiation continued over the months, thanks to the expiry of his contract with Partizan Belgrade who left him out of the squad.
The move is one for the future given he is 17 years of age, but one of the big signs of Milan’s faith is the fact that he will take the final non-EU slot for the season. We explained what that means in a recent feature.
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano confirms that Popović is in Milano today as the Diavolo are closing in on a deal to sign the Serbian talent as a free agent, with the final details being sorted in a meeting today.

He’s quite tall, wanna see him beside Zlatan
Kid made a smart move, he knows man city never let their youth players ee the light of day before age 21
he either going to be flop or great player nothing in between ,he clearly has the talent but he need to work in so many weaknesses he has first he need to learn to play like true big man and keep getting stronger lucky for him he has two of the best big strikers at the club in Giroud and Ibra too learn from if he truly want to be first team player at any club , the way he play right now is just wrong for his talent i truly wish him the best if he listen to couching stuff and work smarter he can be as good as anyone but if he keep playing the same style as right he is not going to be first team player at any club in top division ,
