The parties still need to agree on the formula, which was expected seeing as Milan want it to be a loan with an option to buy. The compromise might be an obligation to buy, thus guaranteeing Chelsea money from the exit.
It remains to be seen what the outcome of the situation will be but it’s clear that Milan’s interest in the player is concrete. It makes a lot of sense as Stefano Pioli wants a player that can play in the centre and also to the right in the attacking trio.
