AC Milan are set to clinch a sensational January deal for Roma defender Philippe Mexes.

Tuttosport says the two clubs are already well down the road over an agreement for the France international.

Mexes will move to Milan for £8 million cash, with Daniele Bonera and Marek Jankulovski going in the opposite direction. He could sign a four-year contract this week, worth £2 million rising to £3 million-a-year.
