AC Milan have reportedly agreed a €45m deal with Strasbourg for Belgian winger Diego Moreira, with personal terms already discussed.

AC Milan have reportedly reached an agreement with Strasbourg for the signing of Diego Moreira, with the Belgian international now expected to continue his career in Serie A rather than join RB Leipzig.

Moreira had appeared destined for the Bundesliga after reports last week claimed that RB Leipzig had reached an agreement on personal terms with the winger. Despite that progress, however, the German club now look set to miss out on the 21-year-old.

The Belgium international has impressed during his time in France and has attracted interest from several major European clubs. His ability to operate in wide attacking positions made him an appealing target for Leipzig, but AC Milan have seemingly won the race by agreeing terms with Strasbourg.

For AC Milan, the arrival of Moreira would provide another attacking option and add further competition to their squad. The Rossoneri have been active in the transfer market as they look to build a team capable of challenging at the top of Italian football.

RB Leipzig, meanwhile, must now quickly turn their attention towards alternative targets. According to reports in Germany, FC Köln winger Said El Mala has emerged as one potential option following Moreira’s decision to move to Italy.

Leipzig are reportedly considering a package worth as much as €60 million for the 19-year-old German winger.
