He’s finally arrived. Tracked for many weeks as the replacement for Sandro Tonali, who left for Newcastle against 70 million euros, Yunus Musah has finally settled down on the side of AC Milan. The 20-year-old American international will bring his explosiveness and freshness to a Milan midfield also orphaned by Ismaël Bennacer, seriously injured for several months.
Proud to have arrived in Lombardy after an enriching experience in Valencia, Musah spoke about his arrival at San-Siro: “I am very happy. My mouth will hurt because of my smile. I want to thank everyone. I have to understand what happened. There are so many Milan players that I really liked like Seedorf, Pato, Ronaldinho… My brother is a Milan fan, so I follow Milan for that. Jersey number 80? It was among the free ones. I remember he was using Ronaldinho: wearing his jersey will be very special. I spoke with Gattuso from Milan when we were together in Valencia. He jokingly told me that maybe one day I’ll play it…and look now.These are words that should please the tifosi rossoneri.
