体坛英语新闻：AC Milan to sign Juventus defender

MILAN, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- Juventus center-back Nicola Legrottaglie revealed on Sunday that he will join AC Milan on Monday.

Legrottaglie has found himself on the bench more often than not this season and with the recent signing of Andrea Barzagli it seems his time in Turin is almost over.

He has been lined up as cover for the injured Alessandro Nesta at Milan, and could well sign on deadline day.

"Tomorrow I will sign for Milan," Legrottaglie told Sky Sport Italia.

"Am I upset at how it ended with Juve? We'll see. When I say goodbye to everyone at Juventus, I will say what I think."

His contract with Juventus expires at the end of the season, so the Bianconeri may look to cash in, while Milan have apparently closed their cheque book for January at least.
