Official: Florenzi signs for Milan

Alessandro Florenzi has officially completed his transfer to Milan, on loan with option to buy from Roma for a total €5m.

The Italy international has signed a contract with the Rossoneri to June 2022 and will wear the shirt number 25 at San Siro.

It’s widely reported the one-season loan will cost €1m, with the option to buy set at a further €4m.

The 30-year-old plays primarily as a right-back, but can also work on the left, in midfield or in more advanced wide roles.

Florenzi was born and raised in the Roma academy, a lifelong Giallorossi supporter, but had been sent out on loan to Valencia and then PSG over the last couple of campaigns.

He was part of the Italy squad that won the UEFA EURO 2020 trophy over the summer.

Florenzi is hoping to make his Milan debut in Monday’s Serie A trip to Sampdoria.

In his career, he has accumulated 227 Serie A appearances, scoring 25 goals and providing 29 assists.
