Torino have announced the signing of Milan left-back Diego Laxalt.

Milan wing-back Diego Laxalt has officially signed for Torino, on loan with option to buy at the end of the season for €12m.

The former Inter, Genoa, Bologna and Empoli player underwent a medical on Friday and put pen to paper.

It’s reported Toro have agreed to pay the entirety of his €1.7m salary during the season.

They will also pay €0.5m for the loan period with an option to buy for a further €11.5m.

This was the bare minimum figure for Milan to not make a loss on the purchase, having signed him from Genoa only a year ago for €14m plus up to €4m in bonuses.

Laxalt had been on the verge of moves to Atalanta and Sassuolo over the last few days, he finally opted for Torino.
