Milan have officially signed Pietro Pellegri from AS Monaco, on loan with option to buy at the end of the season, which can become an obligation.
The striker is still only 20 years old, but moved to Monaco from Genoa for €20.9m plus bonuses in January 2018.
Monaco released a statement this afternoon confirming the transfer, on loan with an option to buy.
Milan’s statement adds that this option can become an obligation to buy if certain conditions are met.
The player will wear shirt number 64 this season.
It is reported the deal is worth €1m for the loan and option to buy for a further €6m plus performance-related bonuses.
He shot to fame at Genoa after becoming the first player born in the 21st Century to score a goal in the top five European leagues, during Roma 3-2 Genoa in May 2017.
He also became the youngest ever player to score a Serie A brace, aged 16 years and 184 days.
Injuries stalled his career progress at Monaco, making just 23 appearances for the French club, with two goals and one assist.

The man who made the world of football to forget about Sergio Busquets of Barcelona. He doesn't get enough credit yet he continue playing under every manager, There is no other Deserved winner 👏 Kevin De Bryune is overrated 😴🙄 ,I saw him with Belgium there was nothing special about him. Pep guardiola can improve any player in the world. Imagine if Pep guardiola did get Jorginho 😳
