Done Deal: Athekame to undergo Milan medical on August 14 | OneFootball

Milan have finalised their agreement with Young Boys, so Zachary Athekame is expected to arrive in Italy for his medical on Thursday.

According to multiple sources including Sky Sport Italia and Calciomercato.com, his plane will land on Milanese soil tomorrow at 11.00 local time.

The cost of the operation is expected to be a total of €10m, plus giving Young Boys a 10 per cent cut of the future sale fee.

The Switzerland Under-21 international will turn 21 in December and only joined Young Boys from Neuchatel Xamax in 2024.

Athekame plays as a right-back and reportedly received offers from several other clubs too, but had his heart set on a move to Milan.

It has been a busy time for the Rossoneri, who over the last 48 hours have sold Malick Thiaw to Newcastle United for €40m and purchased Koni De Winter from Genoa for €20m including add-ons.
