“When you think of AC Milan, you naturally think of the team's history, of all those champions who have worn the famous team colours,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I think of Baresi, Costacurta, Maldini, Nesta, Tassotti. I admire them for what they have given to football and this Club. They are legends.
“I arrive today to start writing a new page in the Rossoneri history and in my career.
“The challenge begins now, a new adventure starts today together with comrades who, like me, are so hungry to win.
“I would like to thank the entire team, Director Fassone, DS Mirabelli and Mr. Montella, who have all strongly supported me and made me feel so central to this ambitious new plan.
“I have been greeted with affection and warmth from the fans and that makes me committed to work hard, together with the rest of the team, to make sure this enthusiasm continues and grows during the season as we work towards winning and bringing AC Milan back to the heights of the Italian and European tournaments.
“We start now. Together we can. #HungrierThanEver.”
