“The contract is a two-year loan, with the obligation of a permanent transfer for the Ivorian player.”
The 20-year-old Ivorian scored six goals in 30 appearances for Atalanta, who finished fourth in Serie A last season.
He had been linked with a number top European sides, including Roma and English champions Chelsea, but instead becomes Milan’s second major signing of the summer after Mateo Musacchio.
