AC Milan arrived at the World Cup break with too many injuries. Several key players were missing from the usual starting lineup. For example, in the goalkeeper position, Ciprian Tatarusanu took the place of Mike Maignan who missed the World Cup call with France due to his injury.
According to reports, however, the Romanian shotstopper may not be staying with the club next season and AC Milan will have to find someone to replace him.
As per Calciomercato.com, the Rossoneri club directors are ready to get their hands on the card of Marco Sportiello of Atalanta whose contract expires at the end of the season. In fact, negotiations have been ongoing between the club and entourage of the 30-year-old Italian. There are margins to close the deal soon.
The source also writes a meeting between agent Riso and Maldini is scheduled for this week to define the details of Sportiello's contract. A three-year contract will be ready to be signed very soon.
