“Flamini will arrive this evening and sign a four-year contract,” Galliani told Football Italia.

The report revealed that the 24-year old midfielder snubbed Arsenal as he will earn 4million euros per year at San Siro.

Juventus were also interested in the Gunners’ midfielder but Milan had the best offer to clinch their first summer signing.

Flamini produced a brilliant performance under Arsene Wenger this term and is now seen as one of the best central midfielders in Europe.

Meanwhile the club’s President Silvio Berlusconi has hinted that Ronaldinho’s transfer may collapse.

“I have always been doubtful over his signing, but now I am even less convinced that Milan really need Ronaldinho,” said Berlusconi.

Milan and Barcelona failed to reach an agreement as the Rossoneri offered $20m while the Catalan bosses want them to double their bid.
