Kalinic capture continues Milan overhaul
Nikola Kalinic has joined AC Milan's revolution, completing his move from Fiorentina after two productive seasons in front of goal.
AC Milan has continued its overhaul for the 2017-2018 season with the capture of Nikola Kalinic on loan from Fiorentina with an obligation to buy.
Reports suggest the forward will cost Milan a total of €25 million ($37 million), made up of an initial €5 million ($7.4 million) loan fee and €20 million ($29.7 million) to make it permanent at the end of the season.
Kalinic has signed a four-year contract at San Siro, having passed his medical and completed his move on Wednesday (AEST) to become the club's 11th signing of a dramatic transfer window.
Milan had confirmed Kalinic was set to sign on Monday (AEST) by welcoming him to the club on social media.
The 29-year-old spent the past two seasons with Fiorentina, scoring 27 Serie A goals.
He will compete with fellow new arrival Andre Silva for starting striker duties at Milan, with youngster Patrick Cutrone also still at the club.
Vincenzo Montella's side, which has also been linked with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Andrea Belotti and Diego Costa, allowed Carlos Bacca to join Villarreal on loan with an option to buy last week to facilitate Kalinic's arrival.
The Croatia international's transfer was sanctioned by Fiorentina after it completed the signing of striker Giovanni Simeone from Genoa.
Fiorentina has raked in some huge fees in this window, having also sold Federico Bernardeschi to Juventus for €40 million ($59.3 million) and Matias Vecino to Inter Milan in a €24 million ($35.6 million) deal.
