AC Milan's hopes of signing a top target have been dashed. The Rossoneri were keen on bringing in a talented young player, but Fiorentina have intervened with a lucrative offer. A deal has been struck between Udinese and Fiorentina, worth 30 million euros plus bonuses. The French midfielder is now set to join the Viola.

The swift agreement between Udinese and Fiorentina has caught Milan off guard. The club had been monitoring the player's progress, but were unable to match Fiorentina's offer. This development will come as a blow to Milan's coaching staff, who had identified the player as a key target.

Milan will now need to look elsewhere to strengthen their squad. The club's fans will be disappointed by the news, but the Rossoneri are likely to have other targets in mind. The team's management will be working hard to secure alternative signings.

The player's arrival at Fiorentina will be a significant boost to the Viola's midfield. They will be looking to build on a strong season and push for European places. Milan, on the other hand, will need to regroup and focus on their own transfer plans.
