During his usual transfer update on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano provided the latest on AC Milan's transfer activity, focusing on one signing completed in recent hours and one outgoing deal.
On the signing of Sankhoun Diawara
"Something is happening on the incoming front, as Milan are bringing in another young talent who could also be integrated into the first team. We'll see the assessments Ruben Amorim makes regarding the first team and Milan Futuro. There will be evaluations, but for now the player will immediately be tested with the senior squad."
Diawara attracted interest of clubs from Germany and the Premier League
"He is a defender: Sankhoun Diawara, a left-footed centre-back born in 2006 from Troyes. He was attracting interest from a couple of clubs, including teams in Germany and also a newly promoted Premier League club that wanted to sign him and make a significant investment with the intention of giving him a starting role."
"Milan saw great potential in him for what is ultimately a modest fee, around €2-3 million including bonuses, and decided to move quickly. They have reached an agreement with the player, and although they are waiting for the contracts to be signed as a precaution, a verbal agreement for Sankhoun Diawara has been reached. Milan are therefore preparing to add another talented young player to their squad, while they wait to assess his development."
