AC Milan are about to finalise their first signing of the winter window for a transfer fee of 5 million euros and a contract until 2028

In the Coppa Italia win over Cagliari, two young defenders, Jimenez and Simic, were both impressive, but AC Milan did not stop making up for it in the winter window. According to transfer market expert Schira, AC Milan are close to signing Verona defender Filippo Terracciano for a transfer fee of 5 million euros and a contract until 2028.

Filippo Terracciano

Filippo Terracciano, 20, was born in Verona, Italy, where his father Antonio was a professional footballer and played for Verona. In the 2021/22 season, Terracciano was promoted to the first team by then-manager Igor Tudor and made his professional debut in the Coppa Italia against Empoli.

In the 2022/23 season, Gabriele Joffei and Zafaroni managed Hellas Verona, with Terracciano transforming from a right-sided midfielder to a versatile centre-back player. Marco Baroni has been at the helm of Hellas Verona this season, playing at left wing-back, right wing-back, left-back, right-back and right-centre-back in the 3-4-2-1 and 4-2-3-1 formations. With his versatility, the young Italian is also fully in the starting line-up.

Prior to this, AC Milan had been in intensive talks with Spanish defender Juan Miranda, but the transfer stalled due to high commissions and high wages. After some screening, Milan CEO Fulani and scouting director Moncada locked in Terracciano, and transfer talks went very well. According to transfer market expert Schira, AC Milan and Verona will hold a new round of talks tomorrow (January 3 local time), and the transfer is expected to be finalized within 24 hours.
