AC Milan have confirmed the departure of Rade Krunic, who landed in Turkey on Friday to complete his move to Fenerbahce. Contrary to previous reports, the midfielder has joined the club on an initial loan deal.
Krunic’s transfer has been in the works for a couple of months now, losing his spot in Milan’s team after the defeat to Borussia Dortmund. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Fenerbahce would reach an agreement with the Rossoneri management.
According to the statement on Milan’s official website, the Bosnian will join Fenerbahce on an initial loan deal. The move will be made permanent if certain conditions are met, although the details of these were not disclosed by the club.
“AC Milan can confirm that Rade Krunić has joined Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü on a loan deal, which will contain an obligation to make the deal permanent should certain conditions be met. The Club would like to wish Rade all the best for this coming adventure,” the statement read.
It is believed that Milan will get €3-5m for the sale of Krunic, which is far from great given their demands in the summer. On the other hand, the situation was unbearable and getting the midfielder off their hands was needed for the Rossoneri.
