AC Milan complete the signing of Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini

Sensational transfer news are out and it is reported that Italian giants AC Milan have clinched the signing of Arsenal’s French midfielder Mathieu Flamini.

Local newspaper reported that it had appeared that Juventus were the favourites to sign Flamini but they are believed to have been out-bid by Milan who are willing to pay him four million euros a year - a million more than was an offer from their rivals - which includes a significant signing-on fee spread over a five-year contract.

It is strongly believed that AC Milan have ear-marked Flamini as the eventual replacement for Gennaro Gattuso, which is ironic considering the fact that the midfielder was nicknamed after the Italian by his Arsenal team-mates.

Flamini has so far played a total of 102 matches for the English side and scored 7 goals for Arsenal along the way.
