Milan has become even closer to the signing of striker Fiorentina Nikola Kalinich, reports Sky Sport Italia.

On Thursday, August 17, Kalinich missed training "violets", and today he presented the club with a medical certificate that frees him from training for the next five days. In turn, Fiorentina stripped the striker ninth number, under which will now act as a rookie team Giovanni Simeone.

At the same time, Milan, who has long been interested in signing the Croat, held a new meeting with Fiorentina's representatives, following which their belief in the transfer increased.

It is reported that the parties reached a basic agreement on the seasonal lease of Kalinich with an obligation to repurchase the following summer for 25 million euros.
