The agent of Antonio Mirante admits an offer from AC Milan came out of the blue.

A free agent after leaving Roma over the summer, Mirante is signing for Milan today after it was announced Mike Maignan requires wrist surgery.

Agent Valerio Giuffrida told TMW: "We did not have previous contact, it was quite unexpected. Very bad for Milan because Maignan was doing very well, a little more positive for Milan who are making a dream come true, that is to play for Milan.

"There was a chance meeting at Milan, we had gone there for something else, and ten minutes earlier they had heard the news of the (Maignan) fracture of the scaphoid."
