The long-sought saviour of Milan’s defence has been identified in the form of Hertha Berlin stopper Josip Simunic, according to reports in Italy.

Milan’s quest for a domineering defender has been ongoing for some time, but appears to have finally reached its conclusion in the towering form of Simunic, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

The Australian-born centre-back has been monitored by both Inter and Sampdoria over recent months, but it appears that Milan have pipped their rivals to the post and already struck a private agreement with the player to join.

Indeed, should the club from the German capital wish to make some money on Simunic, rather than lose him for nothing in June, Milan are said to be prepared to acquire him as early as January for a fee of just £700,000.

Milan, whose Achilles heel this season has been thwarting aerial balls from set-pieces, see the 27-year-old as the ideal solution with Simunic - an old-fashioned man-marker - regarded in Germany as the best header of the ball in the Bundesliga.

The 6ft 5in stopper is also a mainstay of the Croatia national team and would be eligible to play in the Champions League, despite having appeared in the UEFA Cup with Hertha this term.
