Acerbi waits on ´dream´ Milan move

Francesco Acerbi is waiting for his agent to tell him that his transfer to AC Milan has gone through.

The Chievo centre-back is expected to move to the San Siro in the coming days as Milan set about strengthening their back line following the departure of legendary defender Alessandro Nesta.

Acerbi freely admits that he cannot wait to finally put pen to paper on a deal, even if he still cannot believe that Milan want him.

“It would be a dream come true,” the 24-year-old told TuttoMercatoWeb.com.

“I’m just waiting for my agent to tell me to sign. I’m happy because Milan are a really strong team, with many great champions. Such interest can only be pleasing.

“Over the past few months I have shown that I am a Serie A player but, to be honest, even I didn’t think I could end up at Milan.”

Acerbi, who started his professional career at Pavia, only joined Chievo from Reggina last summer as part of a co-ownership deal with Genoa.
