Many things had been decided before the penultimate round in Serie A and the teams were already making plans for the next season, and among the teams from the top – AC Milan were the first to start renovating the playing staff. According to reliable Italian and German media, the Rossoneri have agreed on the first reinforcements for the next competition year. The new member of the recent champion of Italy should be the attacking midfielder of Eintracht Frankfurt – Daichi Kamada.’Should’ is the key word, because the two parties have a verbal agreement. It was reached some time ago, but the Rossoneri kept the information about the Japanese play on standby. However, as they mathematically ensured participation in the Champions League last night, they estimated they could come publicly with it.Daichi Kamada and AC Milan 🔴⚫️🇯🇵◉ There’s verbal agreement in principle, club optimistic but careful until he signs.◉ Between European bids, Kamada has picked Milan.◉ Contract will be valid until June 2028, as per @berger_pj.◉ Medical in 7 days, if all goes to plan. pic.twitter.com/17YWI6U5Wz— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) May 28, 2023 As the German Sport1 writes, Kamada agreed with the Rossoneri on a five-year cooperation worth 3,000,000 euros per season, which should be made official at the beginning of next week, after the end of the German Cup final that Eintracht play against Leipzig. As a ‘free’ footballer – his contract with Eintracht expires in a month – he had offers from many clubs, Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund were seriously interested, but the 26-year-old was determined to wait for the Rossoneri and in the meantime rejected the ‘top offer’ from Borussia, the mentioned source points out.Kamada can cover several positions in the midfield but is most productive behind the forwards, where Brahim Diaz and the less successful Charles De Ketelaere operate in the Milanese team. The Spaniard will still be negotiating with Real Madrid about the purchase, with the fact that the Rossoneri are not ready to pay more than 20,000,000 euros, while in the case of the Belgian footballer at San Siro, the club is still weighing. The option was a loan for a while, but not anymore, claims Italian Sky. De Ketelaere will be trusted next season as well or will be sold after only one year since Club Brugge got over 30,000,000 euros for the talented midfielder.Giroud finishes Juve to secure Milan’s Champions League spotKamada will be only the second Japanese footballer in the history of AC Milan. The only person before him to wear the Rossoneri jersey from the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ was Keisuke Honda. And it is an understatement to say that he underperformed, so it will not be difficult for Kamada to overshadow Honda’s performance. However, regardless of the fact that he would come without compensation, expectations are much higher from a player who has scored 16 goals in all competitions for the Frankfurt club this season and set up seven goals in all competitions.##NAJAVA_MECA_7283857##
