„AC Milan“ announced that „Roma“ forward Mattia Destro has accepted the club's offer and will join „rossoneri“ on loan until the end of the season. In the summer, the capital city team will have the option to permanently purchase the Italian's contract.
The Milan team conducted the search for the „ninth number“ throughout the month of January, as the lack of finishing attacks has been the biggest disappointment for fans this season.
The club's executive director, Adriano Galliani, spoke about the potential move of Destro on Wednesday.
Interestingly, the forward began his career at Milan's arch-rivals Inter academy. After that, Destro wore the jerseys of „Genoa“ and „Siena“.
The 23-year-old footballer, representing „Roma“ since 2012, has scored 24 goals in 57 „Serie A“ matches, but has been rarely seen on the field this year."
