“?AC Milan have announced the loan signing of Everton’s Gerard Deulofeu after striking an agreement with the Merseyside club on Friday – but the move has angered the Toffees, who believe Milan have announced the deal prematurely.
The club tweeted that the Spaniard will join on a temporary basis until the end of the season, and it’s also been reported that Milan will have the option to buy the player outright once that agreement ceases in June. Di Marzio go on to claim that Milan will pay a fee of around 650,000 euros in order to bring the player to Italy for the rest of the campaign.

However, Everton are “?assuring that the deal has not yet been completed, and have been angered by the Italians for jumping the gun.
One thing is for certain however – the player will be on his way out at some point this month. Speaking in his press conference on Thursday, Everton boss Ronald Koeman confirmed the winger wasn’t part of his plans for the remainder of the season, opening the door for the move to Milan to be completed.
Koeman said at the time: “I spoke to Gerard and it’s a difficult situation for the player. If he finds a solution to go and get game-time then it’s no problem. But the final decision will be down to the board.”
Di Marzio’s report claims that Deulofeu is expected in Milan on Sunday, and will then take his medical and well as sign his contract with the Rossoneri.
