Alessio Cerci officially set to join AC Milan

Sources at ESPN have reported that the proposed 18-month loan swap deal involving Atletico de Madrid's Alessio Cerci and A.C. Milan's Fernando Torres (who has been plying his trade on loan with Chelsea) is a done deal. While the full details of the agreement have not yet been disclosed, outlets from both sides have confirmed its authenticity. This means that Roberto Mancini and Inter will have to keep searching if they are to find a winger during the mercato. As previously reported here, some other options include Arsenal's Lukas Podolski and Chelsea's Mohamed Salah. Some names out on the fringes include Dnipro's Yevhen Konoplyanka, PSV Eindhoven's Zakaria Bakkali, Genoa's Diego Perotti, and Liverpool's Lazar Markovic.
