Tuttosport and Corriere Dello Sport reported earlier today that the player has agreed to personal terms with Milan and is pushing for a move because he believes he'll have a better chance to start at AC Milan due to Roma depth chart at center back and because he played for new Milan coach Sinsia Mihaljovic last season while on loan at Sampdoria. Something interesting to keep an eye on, is that Romagnoli was included in Roma coach Rudi Garcia's squad for their preseason tour in Australia.
While Romagnoli may arrive, two other defenders look set to leave Milan. Milan's youth product Michelangelo Albertazzi was requested by Cesena today, according to Sky. The defender was previously linked to a loan move to Empoli and Verona last week. Sky also reports that Serie A new boys Carpi have asked for Milan defender Rodrigo Ely as a loan deal after missing out on goalkeeper Gabriel who signed a loan deal with Napoli this morning. Mihaljovic was said he wanted to test out Ely in preseason before making a decision on his future for the upcoming season.
Plenty of transfer news over the next few days as this looks be a busy week for Milan. Romagnoli is close to Milan and Ely and Albertazzi could be out.
