Eintracht Frankfurt star Daichi Kamada is finalising a deal to join AC Milan on a free transfer, sources have told 90min.

The Japan international's contract expires at the end of June and he has been free to talk to clubs about a move ahead of the 2023/24 season.

He has not been short of suitors, with 90min previously reporting that Borussia Dortmund and Benfica had held talks with him, while there was also interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

But 90min understands that Milan have been confident of landing Kamada and the 26-year-old has agreed the final details over a move to San Siro.

Kamada will play his final game for Frankfurt in Saturday's DFB Pokal final against RB Leipzig at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

In 46 games for Frankfurt so far this term, Kamada has scored 16 goals and added seven assists.

Milan will end the season on Sunday at home to Hellas Verona safe in the knowledge that they have already secured a third-straight year of Champions League football, and they could jump above rivals Inter into third if the Nerazzurri lose at Torino.

Once Kamada's signing is confirmed, Milan will focus their energies on completing the transfer of Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea.

90min reported in mid-May that talks between the Rossoneri and the Blues were progressing, with the Serie A side growing confident of finding an agreement.

Milan have also been boosted by star forward Rafael Leao committing his long-term future to the club, signing a new five-year contract.
