AC Milan reach agreement to buy Roma midfielder

AC Milan have reportedly come to an agreement with Roma over the transfer of Andrea Bertolacci.

The 24-year-old was bought outright by the Giallorossi from Genoa, who held 50 percent of his rights, on Wednesday for a fee of €8.5 million.

Now, according to Sky Sport Italia, Milan have reached a €20m deal with Roma to take the Italian international to the Stadio Meazza.

It is thought the Rossoneri beat off competition from Atletico Madrid to sign the midfielder.

Bertolacci made 88 Serie A appearances in the last three years for the Grifone and scored 12 goals, as he also broke into the Italy national team.
