Diego Lopez joins AC Milan
Real Madrid goalkeeper, Diego Lopez is set to join AC Milan after agreeing personal terms with the club.
The news was revealed on Twitter via the account of Milan’s official television channel with a message welcoming the keeper on Saturday morning.
The Serie A side’s CEO and vice-president, Adriano Galliani, also confirmed the news to fans on Saturday, saying: “Diego Lopez to Milan is a done deal at 99%.”
Lopez is expected to undergo medical examinations on Monday before signing a four-year contract with the San Siro outfit in a deal that will see the 32-year-old earn about €2.5million per season.
The transfer comes just days after the Spaniard reportedly told Real directors that he believed he was the best goalkeeper currently at the club.
Lopez arrived at Real during the 2012/13 season from Sevilla after being signed by the side’s former coach, Jose Mourinho, when first-choice keeper, Iker Casillas suffered an injury.
Last season, he was Madrid’s first choice in La Liga while Casillas was chosen for UEFA Champions League matches. Following the arrival of Costa Rica star Keylor Navas from Levante this summer however, Lopez has been forced to move on.
