Milan swoop for Porto defender
AC Milan have agreed to sign French left-back Aly Cissokho from Porto and he will undergo a medical at the San Siro on Monday.
Milan vice president Adriano Galliani told the club's official website: "The negotiations during the night were intense.
"We see Cissokho as very strong, as shown by the interest in him, even in the final hours, from top European clubs.
"But in the end, our long-standing friendship with the Porto management prevailed."
The 21-year-old impressed in Porto's run to the Champions League quarter-finals last season and had been linked with a move to French side Lyon.
Instead he could be tasked with helping to fill the shoes of legendary Rossoneri defender Paulo Maldini, who retired at the end of last season.

Milan confirm Cissokho capture
AC Milan have announced the signing of Aly Cissokho from Porto following a second medical.
A deal for the French full-back had looked to be in doubt after a dental problem raised concerns with the Rossoneri's staff.
However, after further examinations, they are now happy for the 21-year-old to complete his switch to Giuseppe Meazza.
Cissokho is currently on his way to Senegal to visit family but is expected to sign his new contract upon his return to Europe.
"I can confirm that I encountered some problems in my first physical," revealed the Porto full back.
"But then we did another test, a more detailed one, and everything went well.
"I have signed my pre-contract with Milan and now I am going on holiday to Senegal."
Reports suggest Milan have shelled out around £12.7million in order to land the talented youngster.

Cissokho deal collapses
Aly Cissokho's proposed move to AC Milan has collapsed after the Rossoneri failed to meet Porto's demands.
The French full-back had appeared to be all set to join the Rossoneri, and had even claimed to have signed a pre-contract agreement with the Serie A giants.
The move had been delayed over fears regarding dental problems revealed during a medical, but that issue was resolved after the player underwent further tests.
A £12.7million deal was widely touted, with the formalities expected to be pushed through without any hindrances.
However, Milan now claim that the move has stalled due to financial differences with Porto.
The Italian outfit are believed to have requested to have the deal altered to incorporate an initial loan switch, with the view to a permanent agreement being struck in the future.
That has fallen through, though, as Cissokho's current employers are demanding too much money.
"Our doctors found some problems with his teeth which cause muscular trouble, which he has and which could deteriorate," Milan general manager Adriano Galliani told Sky Italia.
"So I made a proposal to Porto to make it a loan with a option to buy and no longer a permanent deal. We'll have him with us and treat him next season and if the player is all right we'll buy him in a year's time.
"Porto accepted the idea of a loan but not the cost and we are negotiating. If Porto don't accept our figure, we'll pull out. At the moment it's more No than Yes."

Cissokho agent sure of move
Aly Cissokho's agent remains 'very confident' the full-back will still complete his proposed move from Porto to AC Milan.
The Frenchman looked poised to seal a summer switch to the Serie A giants only for the transfer to collapse after dental problems emerged during a medical.
Milan, who initially agreed a fee thought to be in the region of £12.6million, were keen to renegotiate the terms after discovering the issue.
But it was suggested Porto were reluctant to lower the price or sanction a loan deal, sparking claims that Cissokho would remain in Portugal.
However, amid rumours that a figure of £8.5m has now been accepted, Cissokho's representative, Roger Boli, is optimistic a transfer is on the horizon.
"Only a couple of details are missing, but I am very confident. The biggest obstacle was the deal between the two clubs," Boli told L'Equipe.

Milan return for Cissokho
Aly Cissokho's transfer from Porto to AC Milan could be back on according to the player's agent Roger Boli.
The 21-year-old was set to be unveiled as a Rossoneri player last week but the deal collapsed after the defender failed a medical.
Milan doctors discovered a problem with the Frenchman's teeth which they feared could affect his posture in the future and the transfer was called off.
However Milan officials stated that a failure to come to a financial agreement with Porto was the real reason why the transfer fell through.
Upon hearing the news of the medical the Italian giants were keen to take the full-back on an initial one-year loan with a view to buy at the end of the spell, something that the Portuguese champions rejected.
Negotiations
But Boli insists that the move could finally be completed after Porto reportedly lowered their asking price.
"The two clubs are once again in negotiations," he told Renascenca. "They are trying to find a solution, I cannot say which, that pleases all parties.
"I do not know when the negotiations will be finalised. But the deal is still possible, I do not know if it will be a loan or a transfer."

Aly Cissokho Slams Milan: There Is Nothing Wrong With My Teeth!
The Porto full-back is angry with the Rossoneri over his collapsed move to San Siro
Porto left back Aly Cissokho has blasted Milan over his failed move to San Siro, claiming there is nothing wrong with his teeth, and that the Rossoneri called off the move due to monetary reasons.
Milan announced that they had signed the Frenchman last month, but then the transfer collapsed after the Italians claimed that they had found a problem with Cissokho’s teeth during his medical.
“I am fine and have no problem with my teeth, they are as perfect as always,” Cissokho roared in La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I have never had a problem like this, just as I have never had muscular problems in recent years.
“I don’t know why Milan are saying these things, and I don’t like it. I only found out some time after the medical. I went to Senegal for 10 days and when I returned from holiday they told me there was a problem.
“I did two medicals – one for Milan and one for the Italian Federation – and nobody told me there was anything wrong. It’s just an excuse to stop the transfer.
“Now I am tired of this situation. I hear from one side that I’m going to Milan, then I’m staying at Porto, then leaving to go somewhere else. I want an answer.
“The real problem is not my teeth. In this whole affair the issue is money.”
Cissokho’s remarks are certain to annoy Milan fans, many of whom are becoming increasingly frustrated by the transfer movements of the club’s management.
There are now reports that Cissokho could instead move to Lyon as a replacement for the Juventus-bound Fabio Grosso.goal.com
