AC Milan is preparing a blockbuster transfer right on the eve of the World Cup kickoff.
Details: According to Vibes Foot, French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is on the verge of completing his move to the Rossoneri and is ready to don the iconic red-and-black jersey.
Reports indicate that both parties have entered the final stage of negotiations, with all official paperwork and contract signing expected to be wrapped up before the opening whistle of the World Cup.
The decisive factor in the star forward's choice of new club was the presence of the head coach. Mateta has decided to follow his mentor, Oliver Glasner, who is also on the verge of being appointed by the Milanese giants.
It's worth noting that this season the French forward made 50 appearances for the London club, scoring 16 goals and providing 3 assists. Transfermarkt values the player at €30 million.
Reminder: Chelsea has once again set its sights on Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
