The Bundesliga outfit have fended off strong competition from London clubs Tottenham and Chelsea for the Poland striker's signature.
Speaking following the confirmation, Hertha's managing director Michael Preetz said on Thursday: With Krzysztof we have a highly talented attacker who is impressive at the highest level of his goalscoring and attacking quality, both in Serie A and in the national team.
'Through him, we now have even more quality on the offensive.'
Milan also said on a statement: "AC Milan announces the agreement with Hertha BSC for the definitive transfer of the player Krzysztof Piątek to the German Club."
"The Club would like to thank the player for his professional commitment and wishes him all the best for his future career."
