Furlani told Sky Italia: "Alvaro has expressed his desire for us, now we have to complete some formalities but we're almost there.
"There's a few things left...
"He is a great champion and you can see it even just by talking to him, you understand why he is the captain of Spain, just look at what he says. I found him optimistic and confident, ready to leave after the well-deserved holidays.
"As for the speech for convincing him, I have to thank Zlatan (Ibrahimovic), who knows what it means to be Milan's centre-forward, and Paulo Fonseca who explained to him how central he will be to his project."
