AC Milan signs Diego Moreira from Strasbourg for up to €71m
AC Milan has officially completed the signing of 22-year-old Belgian winger Diego Moreira from Strasbourg. The transfer is valued at a base fee of approximately €50 million, with potential add-ons that could bring the total package to between €65 million and €71 million. Moreira has signed a contract with the Rossoneri until June 2031 and will wear the number 22 shirt.
Moreira, who previously played for Chelsea and Lyon, is seen as a key reinforcement for head coach Ruben Amorim’s tactical project. The move also provides financial benefits to other clubs; Chelsea is set to receive a windfall due to a sell-on clause, and Strasbourg has secured a record sale. Additionally, former club Olympique Lyonnais is expected to receive solidarity payments through FIFA mechanisms.
Moreira expressed his excitement about joining the club, stating, “Playing for AC Milan means winning trophies and being part of a club with a glorious history.” The signing is part of a broader, more aggressive investment strategy by owner Gerry Cardinale to return the club to elite competitiveness.
