Milan Continue Summer Spending By Signing Bundesliga Star

AC Milan's summer rebuild is set to continue, following the arrivals of Ricardo Rodriguez, Andre Silva, Mateo Musacchio, Franck Kessie, Andrea Conti and, erm, Fabio Borini.

The Rossoneri are set to complete their sixth signing of the summer with a 20 million euro move for Bayer Leverkusen's dead ball specialist, Hakan Calhanoglu.

The 23-year-old Turkish international has risen to prominence over the past few three seasons, scoring 28 goals in 115 games, many of which have been goal of the season worthy efforts.

Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio broke the news last night, with Calhanoglu set to undergo a medical in Milan tomorrow ahead of the move being completed.

Despite not having European football once again next season, Milan's new owners, Sino-Europe Sports Investment Management are investing heavily in the first team in order to return the club to their former glory, in a manner not dissimilar from how former club president and bunga bunga party host Silvio Berlusconi did when he assumed control of the Rossoneri, in 1986.
