The agent of Axel Witsel says the Zenit St Petersburg midfielder is ready to move to AC Milan.
Milan now need to settle on a fee with the Russians.
"At the start Axel was not convinced by Milan's proposal, because he was looking for a club that played in the Champions League," Riccardo Napolitano told Antenna 3 television.
“However, the Rossoneri were very insistent and at the end the player said yes to their offer. The first hurdle has therefore been overcome.
“Now they need to satisfy Zenit's demands. Milan are prepared to spend €20m, but the Russians are asking for €30m to €35m."
