Roma, Milan agree terms for Destro

Striker's OK needed to seal deal

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Milan, January 27 - AS Roma and AC Milan have agreed terms for the transfer of Mattia Destro from Rome to Milan, sources at the Rossoneri said Tuesday.
    An OK from the striker is all that is needed to seal the deal, they said.
    Destro, who had been linked to a 20-million-pound move to Arsenal or Spurs, will beef up a Milan attack that could be without the injured Stephan El Shaarawy for the rest of the season.
    Silvio Berlusconi's club desperately need fire power up front as they seek to lift themselves out of a dry spell that sees them languishing in eighth place with coach Pippo Inzaghi's job on the line.
    Destro, 23, has scored 23 goals in 52 appearances for Roma since 2012.
    He has eight Italy caps and one goal for his country.
    Milan are also looking to reinforce their back line, with centre back Philippe Mexes out for four games after grabbing Lazio captain Stefano Mauri's throat during the 3-1 defeat at the Olimpico where El Shaarawy broke his foot Saturday. Spartak Moscow's former Genoa centre half Salvatore Bocchetti is reportedly on the way to Milan.
