Sunderland striker Fabio Borini is poised to return to Italy ahead of his proposed £5.3 million move to AC Milan, according to the Guardian.
The 26-year-old is set to undergo medical on Thursday before joining the Italian giants on an initial one-year loan deal with a view to a permanent transfer next summer.
Borini, who started his senior career at Chelsea, signed for Sunderland two years ago in a reported £10 million transfer deal after failing to make his mark at Liverpool. The Italian striker scored just two goals last season as Sunderland faced relegation from the Premier League.
