Milan are closing in on the free agent acquisition of Daichi Kamada, who will depart Eintracht Frankfurt at the end of his contract. They have an agreement in principle with the player. He could replace Brahim Diaz, as his loan spell from Real Madrid is about to end, Sky informs.
The Japanese international has recorded 9 goals and 7 assists in 32 Bundesliga appearances this season. He has hit the net 16 total times considering all competitions. His run in the World Cup terminated in the Round of 16 at the hands of Croatia on PKs.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Milan have struck a deal with Kamada and his camp verbally. However, they remain cautious because he recently reneged on an accord with Borussia Dortmund, which believed to have secured him. He appears to have picked the Rossoneri among his European suitors. However, he has offers from other leagues.
If he doesn’t change his mind and everything goes according to plan, he will sign a five-year deal and take the medicals next Monday.
Our Take on Milan and Kamada
While the two aren’t mutually exclusive, it’s a sign that the Rossoneri don’t feel confident about their chances of coming to terms with Real Madrid to retain Diaz. Marco Asensio’s exit might have expedited the proceedings. It’s a small gamble, but it’s worth it given his experience and the low costs of the deal. They need to sign two players between the no.10 role and the midfield, and they aren’t going to splurge twice.
