AC Milan have confirmed that an agreement has been made with Real Madrid to sign striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

Rossoneri chief officer Adriano Galliani revealed that a deal had been reached between the two clubs for the 25-year-old striker.

He told Sky Italia: "The agreement has already been closed with Real Madrid. The Dutch player will be in Milan this evening (Thursday)."

After a successful spell at Ajax, Huntelaar joined Spanish giants Real in January 2009, but fell down the pecking order after president Florentino Perez embarked on his second Galactico spending spree.

New Milan coach Leonardo targeted the Holland international after negotiations for Sevilla's Luis Fabiano broke down.

Tottenham, Arsenal and Stuttgart were all rumoured to be tracking the striker, but he is now set to finalise a move to the San Siro.
