AC Milan have reached an agreement with Troyes to sign Rangers target Sankhoun Diawara, according to Foot Mercato. The 20-year-old was reportedly on the verge of joining Rangers in a huge boost to Bears manager Derek McInnes. However, the Ibrox club have to look elsewhere for a top defender to boost their chances of winning the Scottish Premiership next term. Milan have hijacked the Light Blues’ deal for Diawara despite Rangers agreeing terms to the Frenchman.
The Serie A club have also agreed personal terms with Diawara, with only the final details remaining to be settled before finalising the deal. While the Bears wanted the youngster in their first-team immediately, Milan only have plans to add him to their under-23s. Diawara secured promotion to Ligue 1 at the end of last term after making 17 appearances across all competitions.
