AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani declared the club will sign either Manchester City’s Carlos Tevez or Catania’s Maxi Lopez on Friday.

The Scudetto holders have reached an agreement with Catania for Lopez, thought to be an initial six-month loan deal worth €500,000, with the option to buy the forward outright in the summer for €8.5 million.

However, they will only sign the former Barcelona striker if they fail to land Tevez.

“If Maxi Lopez can join as well? Who knows?,” said Galliani prior to meeting with the Catania player and his agent.

“I will just repeat that if he does not arrive, we will sign Tevez, but they are two alternative options.

“We will make a decision on Friday.”

Meanwhile, Milan director Ariedo Braida, who was also present at the meeting, ruled out the possibility of both players joining the Rossoneri.

“On Friday we will choose either Lopez or Tevez,” he said. “Maxi has been very nice, but we will see.

“Either he stays at Catania or he comes to us.”
