Milan have officially sold winger Samu Castillejo to Gennaro Gattuso’s Valencia.
The Spaniard flew in this morning for a medical and completed the transfer, which was a sale for a minimal fee plus performance-related bonuses.
There had been early suggestions he would terminate his contract by mutual consent first and move as a free agent, but that is not the case.
Castillejo has signed a three-year contract at the Mestalla to June 2025.
Milan also released a statement thanking him for “the professionalism and commitment shown” during his time at San Siro.
The 27-year-old had joined the Rossoneri from Villarreal in the summer of 2018 at a cost of €21.3m, after coming through the Malaga youth academy.
He made 113 competitive appearances in the Milan jersey, scoring 10 goals and providing 15 assists.
Thank you Castillejo!
Sold for ZERO Euros, to be clear!
@as com is even setup a go find me and pay him to go to Valencia. Unfortunately he was very múch a bit part player and took up space and wages. No club wanted to pay the few million as they knew it was probably a gamble.
I like Castillejo but definitely not Serie A champions quality.!
