Atalanta are in pole position and are on track to beat Napoli in the race for the American midfielder, as La Dea are closing in on sealing the acquisition of Milan midfielder Yunus Musah.
Milanese journal La Gazzetta dello Sport indicates that coach Ivan Juric’s side have reached an agreement with the Rossonerri on a loan for a fee that can go up to €4.5m, with an option to buy worth €20.5m at the end of the season.
The 22-year-old deep-lying play-maker is set to arrive in Zingonia tomorrow to complete his medicals and officially complete the transfer from Il Diavolo.
The loan spell permits Juric to have a durable and physical holding midfielder at his disposal, one that can occupy the role of star midfielder Ederson as a result of the Brazilian international’s injury during pre-season against Juventus.
The former Valencia central midfielder seeks redemption as his two-year spell with the Rossonerri was quite underwhelming, as he failed to make his mark and break into the starting eleven consistently.
