AC Milan sign Yunus Musah from Valencia in a $22.1 million transfer, with the midfielder joining USMNT teammate Christian Pulisic in the Serie A side

AC Milan has completed the signing of American international Yunus Musah from LaLiga club Valencia.

The 20-year-old midfielder joins the Italian side on a €20 million (£17.1 million, $22.1 million) transfer with a further €1 million in add-ons.

Born in New York but raised in Italy and England, Musah signed a five-year contract with the Rossoneri and will wear the number 80, according to The athletic.

The New York native joins USMNT teammate, Christian Pulisic, at San Siro after the former Chelsea star joined Serie A for four years last month.

Milan is controlled by US investment firm RedBird Capital Partners led by Gerry Cardinale, and baseball’s New York Yankees are a minority investor.
