The pre-match buildup to Lazio-Milan in the Coppa Italia yesterday was shaped, at least on the Milan side, by a transfer story that gained traction fast. Transfer reporters Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano stated that the deal to bring Colombian left back Juan David Arizala, born in 2005 and currently at Deportivo Independiente Medellin, to Milanello is done. The move is agreed and will be completed once the window opens.
La Gazzetta dello Sport confirms the story today and highlights the possible move with this headline: "Arizala liked. Arrives in January for 3 million?" This figure was reported by Romano and repeated by the newspaper. The agreement between the clubs includes a sell-on clause. If the deal goes through, it will rank among the most expensive sales in the history of Colombian football.
