He put pen to paper on the contract this afternoon that runs to June 2029, with a move worth €10m in the fixed fee, plus up to €3m in various performance-related bonuses.

The creative midfielder and support striker was a product of the Milan youth academy, where he became the third generation of his family to represent the club after father Paolo and grandfather Cesare.

The 23-year-old has two senior caps for Italy, both earned in October 2024.
