He looks like AMbro's younger brother for some reason.

The agent of Maxi Lopez believes that his client will join AC Milan on a permanent basis in the summer.

The Catania-owned striker signed for the Rossoneri in January on a six-month loan with a view to a permanent deal, as the Rosoneri were keen to bolster their attacking options following Antonio Cassano's heart surgery.

The Argentine has only made eight Serie A appearances for Milan, but his agent is confident that the former Barcelona forward has convinced the Italian champions to exercise their buying option.

"He will stay at Milan, because he has shown in the few minutes he has been given in matches and in practice sessions that he is a great player and a true champion," Andrea D'Amico told Radio Lombardia.

"He has physical strength, class and finishing prowess, which is something that is not easy to find."

Milan, who are one point behind leaders Juventus in the Serie A table, will host Bologna on Sunday.

He's been good when he has played, true, but it depends on whether we want to spend €10 million on somebody that potentially might be our sixth choice in the pecking order. I'd rather spend those money somewhere else.

Agreed. If he'd come at a reasonable price, say around 5m than we should snap him up to replace Pippo. Anything more and it's really not worth it
