Milan have reached an agreement with Brazilian club Gremio to sign Felipe Mattioni on loan until the end of the season.
The Rossoneri have brokered a deal whereby they have first option to sign the 20-year-old right-back on a permanent basis this summer.
“Felipe is already in Italy,” said Mattioni’s agent, Mino Raiola. “He’ll have a medical today. He has an Italian passport and can play soon.”
Mattioni becomes the second Brazilian defender to join Milan in the January transfer window after Thiago Silva moved from Fluminense earlier this month.
Their arrival could not have come at a better time as the Rossoneri continue to struggle with injuries at the back.
Juventus were also interested in signing the Brazil Under-20 international, as were Manchester United and Ajax.
Mattioni could make his Milan debut this Sunday as the Rossoneri host Fiorentina in Serie A.
