Milan will complete two deals on deadline day, as they will bring in Aster Vranckx, whom they tracked for a few days, and Sergino Dest following a quick agreement with Barcelona. They targeted the fullback as Alessandro Florenzi got hurt versus Sassuolo.
As per SportMediaset, the 19-midfielder will join from Wolfsburg on a €1.5M season-long loan with a €12M option to buy. He will ink a five-year contract with €1.5M wages. The Rossoneri bested Atalanta in the race to sign him. They zeroed in on him due to the difficulties for other objectives. Raphael Onyedika transferred to Club Brugge for €10M, way more than what they offered. Jean Onana will move to Lens for €5M, while Seko Fofana will stay put as he extended his contract, L’Equipe reports.
Vranckx has already reached the clinic to take the medicals ahead of his Milan switch, while Dest will do it later today. The Scudetto winners will acquire the fullback on loan with a €20M option to buy Sky relays. They pipped Villarreal at the post.
The Ajax youth product moved to Catalunya in 2020 for a €21M fee. He has appeared in 72 matches with the Blaugrana, logging 3 goals and 5 assists. He dealt with multiple injuries last season. His team made him available to make room for their new additions. The early indications suggest Florenzi will miss considerable time with a thigh strain.

Our Take on Milan Adding Vranckx and Dest
The Rossoneri are taking a big risk with the former, as he’s unproved and doesn’t possess the traits to substitute Franck Kessié. But he was apparently the only one that could join on loan. Instead, the latter is fairly similar to the ex-Roma man, minus the experience.
