Milan Agree Fee For Sagnol
According to the Corriere dello Sport, Milan are very close to completing the signing of Willy Sagnol, having agreed a transfer fee with Bayern Munich.
Sagnol has had a nightmare season with the new Bundesliga champions, and has fallen out with his coach Ottmar Hitzfeld.
The right back has lost his first team place, and when he has featured he has been mainly utilised in an unusual midfield position.
Last week Sagnol launched a scathing attack on Hitzfeld, revealing his deep hatred for the coach. This led to him being suspended by the club for their UEFA Cup semi-final exit at the hands of Zenit St Petersburg, and he is now certain to be sold at the end of the season.
The Italian press revealed late last week that Milan had opened talks with Bayern over a transfer, and the Corriere today claims that a fee of €5m has been agreed upon.
Just small details now need to be sorted before the transfer is completed, and Sagnol has already told friends that he will be moving to San Siro.
This signing will signal the end of Brazilian legend Cafu’s Milan career. The 37-year-old’s contract, which runs out at the end of June, will not be renewed, meaning that the Rossoneri’s two natural right backs for next season will be Sagnol and Massimo Oddo.
The 31-year-old Frenchman will sign a three-year contract with the Club World Cup champions.Sagnol, who has been at Bayern for eight years, has also made 54 appearances for France, playing at both the 2002 and 2006 World Cups.
