AC Milan have reportedly given Santos permission to negotiate directly with Robinho to rush through a transfer before the Brazilian transfer window closes.
After weeks of speculation and negotiations it seems the two clubs have finally reached an agreement for the transfer of the Brazilian striker, reports Football Italia.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia, the Rossoneri have told Santos they can begin formal talks over personal terms.
A fee has reportedly not yet been decided, but time is of the essence as the Brazilian transfer session closes on July 15.
Vice-President Adriano Galliani confirmed Milan are “closer” to a deal with Santos, as they lowered their asking price from €10m to €8.5m and agreed to accept payment in installments for the 29-year-old.
Robinho has already said he will cut his wages to push the move through to his former club.
