Milan have officially announced that full back Alessandro Florenzi has signed a three-year deal after completing his transfer from Roma.
The 31-year-old Italian joined the Rossoneri on loan last summer from the Giallorossi and was expected to mostly play a backup role in the Lombardy capital, but he soon became a regular feature in Stefano Pioli’s squad, starting 12 of his 24 Serie A appearances this campaign.
As announced by Milan, Florenzi has now signed a three-year deal, tying him to the club until 2025. This is only the second club that the 31-year-old has signed a permanent deal with, having previously been contracted to Roma for the last 11 years.
Florenzi fell out of favour in the Italian capital and had loan spells with Valencia and Paris Saint-Germain before he finally settled in Pioli’s Milan.
As the season began to draw to a close, it became obvious that the Rossoneri were ready to make his stay permanent.
Poor choice milan, he’s now deemed as below par player
Excellent choice by Milan. He’s a great squad player with a lot of experience at a great price. Can’t sign anyone near his quality with that money.
Three years for a guy in his 30s? Weren’t there any younger Italians who could be given a chance?
Solid squad signing with great experience and versatility
Yeah Joey, Benzema, Modric, Lenandowski, Messi, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic. All terrible 30+ plus players…really should just be a game for 16-25?
Nice, Florenzi. FI, site with latest news is broken. Please, fix it. Thank you. 🙂
decent squad player but not exactly the big money superstar some Milan fan on here thought they’d be getting a few months ago with the big takeover than collapsed.
Welcome Florenzi!!
Great signing with that price!
Versatile player, great technique, hard work, determination, experience team player.
@Joey: What are you on about? Florenzi is regarded as back up for Calabria (who is younger anyway) and both of them are in the Italian NT.
SMH, we signed an Italian and still people are complaining lol.
@Milan Ric: Yes, you’re right, my bad… I totally forgot Florenzi is of the same quality as Benzema, Modric, Lewandowski, Messi, Ronaldo, and Zlatan.
