Marco Sportiello is ready to put pen to paper on his upcoming Milan contract

This season, the Rossoneri have experienced a bit of a goalkeeping crisis as a result of Mike Maignan's calf injury, which has kept him out since September. Ciprian Tatarusanu, Milan's backup shot-stopper, has joined the team but has struggled to live up to expectations, making the Rossoneri defence appear unstable and tense during games. Sportiello will meet with Milan next week to sign his new contract, according to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com.

The 30-year-old was a target for Paolo Maldini in the January transfer window, but the two sides were unable to come to terms, forcing the Rossoneri to wait until the summer to bring him in. Tatarusanu will be replaced in the lineup by Sportiello, who will support Maignan. In the upcoming weeks, Milan hopes to regain the French goalie, which might help them snap their recent losing streak.
