AC Milan will make Aly Cissokho their first acquisition of the summer transfer window having agreed a deal with FC Porto for the left-back's services.
Sudden rise
The 21-year-old French defender will move to Milan, with a reported €15m travelling in the opposite direction to the Portuguese champions, who only signed Cissokho in January this year. Until last summer, Cissokho was playing for FC Gueugnon in France's second division, making a total of 22 league appearances for his first club. Vitória FC brought him to Portugal ahead of the 2008/09 campaign, yet he stayed just half a season in Setubal before Porto swooped to take him to the Estádio do Dragão. He went on to play 15 Liga games as well as four matches in the UEFA Champions League – catching the eye in Porto's quarter-final defeat by Manchester United FC. He is expected to put pen to paper on a five-year contract with the Rossoneri, after which he can look forward to returning to Europe's élite club competition in the group stage next term.
