Bonucci will now undergo his medical and put pen-to-paper on a contract with Milan to become their ninth new arrival this summer as the Italian giants continue to build a formidable new squad.
Mateo Musacchio, Franck Kessie, Ricardo Rodriguez, Andre Silva, Fabio Borini, Hakan Calhanoglu, Andrea Conti and Antonio Donnarumma have all arrived over the past two months, but this is the biggest acquisition yet, as reflected by the crowds it has attracted.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Bonucci will arrive in a €42m deal, signing a five-year contract worth €7.5m-a-year.
