Milan Agree €35m Deal to Sign Genoa Striker Krzysztof Piatek as Gonzalo Higuain Replacement

AC Milan have agreed a deal with Serie A rivals Genoa to sign highly-rated forward Krzysztof Piatek for €35m, and will now allow Gonzalo Higuaín to complete his much-anticipated move to Chelsea.

The Poland international has been in imperious form this season at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, scoring 13 times in the league since his summer arrival from KS Cracovia.

The Guardian report that Piatek will sign a five-year deal with the Rossoneri, with the 23-year-old's arrival at San Siro expected to allow Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuaín to complete his move to Stamford Bridge later this week.
