Bakaye Traore - AC MilanAC Milan and Genoa have completed a deal that will Valter Birsa join the Rossoneri, with midfielder Bakaye Traore moving to the Grifone.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani and Genoa president Enrico Preziosi met on Thursday night and it appears as though the two sides are set to conclude another deal between the two clubs.

Gianlucadimarzio reports that the Milan midfielder has finally secured his exit from the San Siro after a season largely spent on the sidelines after last summer’s move from Nancy.

The 28-year-old will join Fabio Liverani’s squad ahead of the weekend’s opening matches with Birsa, who spent last season on loan at Torino, joining the Diavolo.

Traore only made nine appearances in all competitions for the Milan club after joining on a free transfer, while Birsa made 17 appearances for Torino last season.
