Mattia Caldara is ‘happy’ to be joining Milan and ‘excited’ at the thought of forming a defensive partnership with Alessio Romagnoli.
The 24-year-old has landed in Milan ahead of completing his transfer to the Rossoneri from Juventus.
And in a brief airport exchange with journalists, the former Atalanta loanee revealed he has already spoken to Diavolo Coach Gennaro Gattuso.
“I’m happy to be here. I’ve already spoken to Gattuso and with some of my ex-teammates at Atalanta,” Caldara commented.

“I’m happy to be here. I’ve already spoken to Gattuso and with some of my ex-teammates at Atalanta,” Caldara commented.
“The number of my shirt? I still need to think about it.”
Caldara is expected to form a partnership with Romagnoli at Milan, with the duo widely viewed as two of Italian football’s finest young defenders.
“Pairing up with Romagnoli will be exciting.”
The centre-back will now undergo a medical at Milan's Madonnina clinic before being officially unveiled as a Rossoneri player.
He joins Gonzalo Higuain in making the move from Turin to San Siro, with Leonardo Bonucci moving in the opposite direction.
