MILAN MOVE FOR MEXES AND TAIWO
AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has revealed that Nigeria left-back Taye Taiwo and French defender Philippe Mexes will join the Italian champions this summer.
Both players will move to the Serie A outfit on free transfers.
"In defence, Milan are sorted," said Allegri in Monday's press conference. "We have taken Mexes and Taiwo."
Taiwo, 26, had a fine season with Marseille, including scoring the only goal in last month's League Cup final victory.
Mexes, who has been at Roma for seven seasons, is set to replace veteran Alessandro Nesta in the heart of defence alongside Brazilian Thiago Silva.
Milan, who won their first scudetto since 2004 at the weekend, travel to Palermo on Tuesday for their Coppa Italia semi-final return leg.
