Il Corriere dello Sport has learned that AC Milan have all but agreed to sign Dutch midfielder Tonny Vilhena from Feyenoord.
The highly rated footballer will be out of contract at the end of the season and he has already decided to leave De Kuip for greener pastures.
And while several top clubs were keen on his services, Il Corriere dello Sport claims that AC Milan have emerged as favourites for his signature.
The same source has suggested that the Rossoneri managed to reach an agreement with agent Mino Raiola and the player’s father that should be made official in the coming weeks.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal wants the club to regain the fear factor that was instilled under former boss Alex Ferguson.

According to Sport Bild, Douglas Costa is now considered to be one of the primary targets for Manchester United. The Red Devils are starting to put a plan together in the wake of Jose Mourinho’s departure from the club, and Costa is the right kind of man for them to go after given that he hasn’t really been playing in the first team much ever since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.
He’s believed to be available to them for around €40 million, despite only arriving at Juve earlier this year. He was also with the Italian champions in 2017 but only on a loan basis from Bayern Munich.
The 28 year old is still in the prime of his career and it seems like he has a lot more to offer, although there will be some apprehension as to whether or not he’d be used properly …
Confederations Cup Diary: Mexico win MediaBowl, Beausejour is our new best friend and everyone loves
Day seven of the Confederations Cup allowed us to take part in more media excursions and the all-important promise of free food (just don t tell Fernando Santos).
Tatarstan desserts after an island tour, free goat produce in Sochi and a traditional folk dance in a car park all made for one of the more unusual days so far.
Out on the pitch, Russia lost their crucial showdown with Mexico (well, sort of), and Jean Beausejour showed the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Alexis Sanchez that politeness goes a long way.
