Higuain arrives in Milan ahead of expected Rossoneri loan

Gonzalo Higuain has arrived in Milan and has confirmed he is set to undergo a medical ahead of signing for the Rossoneri in what is expected to be a loan from Juventus.

It is believed he will join AC Milan for the 2018-19 season, with the club also having the option to complete a permanent move for the Argentina international.

Reports have indicated Milan will pay Juve €18million for the one-year loan, with the potential future transfer fee said to have been agreed at €36m.

Higuain s departure comes after the Serie A champions completed a €112m move for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso has told reporters there is little to say about the move but Higuain confirmed he has spoken to his new boss.

I am feeling good, tomorrow I will have medical tests and I hope to sign my new contract, Higuain said to Sky Sport. 

I want to salute AC Milan fans but also the Juventus fans because they have always supported me. I hope we will go as far as possible.

Tomorrow I need to do medical tests and sign my contract.

Higuain scored 55 goals in 105 appearances in all competitions for Juve, winning two Serie A and Coppa Italia doubles and reaching the Champions League final in 2016-17.

Juve and Milan are reportedly also close to concluding a swap deal that would see former Bianconeri defender Leonardo Bonucci return to Turin just a year after leaving the club.

Milan would land Italy centre-back Mattia Caldara as part of the Bonucci switch, providing Gattuso with a direct replacement for the influential defender.
