AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has confirmed that midfielder Nigel De Jong is in talks to join LA Galaxy.
The Netherlands midfielder had been heavily rumoured to be joining the Major League Soccer outfit in recent days, with the Los Angeles team looking to add further strength after the signings of Ashley Cole and Jelle van Damme.
Galliani moved to confirm with Premium Sports that talks were underway, but said the transfer had not been fully concluded.
“There are ongoing negotiations, but only when there are signatures do things end,” the Italian said.
“I will tell all when everything is done.
“I can confirm, however, that a negotiation with LA Galaxy is set to result in a sale of De Jong to the team.”
De Jong has had a reduced role under AC Milan boss Sinisa Mihajlovic, making only five appearances this season.
He joined the club in 2012 from English Premier League giants Manchester City.
