According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Jonathan Biabiany is to complete a medical on Monday afternoon ahead of a move from Parma to AC Milan. In return, the rossoneri will send veteran Italian defender Cristian Zaccardo back to Emilia-Romagna after a couple of years away. Milan are also expected to offer a financial contribution to complete the deal.

This will be Biabiany's second experience of football in Milan, as he came up through the Inter Milan youth ranks before moving onto Sampdoria. He's impressed in three seasons at Parma, with his pace and trickery down the right flank helping him become one of the most effective counter-attackers in the entire division. With Filippo Inzaghi looking to impose a quick, counter-attacking style of play on his team, it could be a sensible signing.
Parma were reportedly interested in bringing in Milan’s M’Baye Niang or PSV Eindhoven’s Zakaria Bakkali on loan to replace the Frenchman, though both clubs have rejected bids. Instead, they’re now turning their attention to Sporting Lisbon’s Diego Capel.
