Milan sign Musacchio from Villarreal

AC Milan have announced the signing of centre-back Mateo Musacchio from Villarreal on a four-year deal.

The defender underwent a medical last week and he has now formalised his move to San Siro, with Milan believed to have paid a fee in the region of €18million.

Musacchio becomes Milan’s first signing ahead of next season as they look to re-build their squad.

The Rossoneri finished sixth in Serie A in 2016-17 to qualify for Europa League football, but are desperate to challenge for the Champions League places again next term.

They have also been heavily linked with a move for Atalanta midfielder Franck Kessie, with the 20-year-old expected to undergo a medical this week.
