MILAN (AP) 鈥� AC Milan signed defender Sankhoun Diawara on Wednesday from Troyes, following the youngster鈥檚 breakout season in the French second division.
The 20-year-old Diawara signed five-year deal through July 2031.
鈥淎 left-footed centre-back, Diawara combines technical quality, physical strength and personality,鈥� Milan said in .
鈥淭hese attributes make him a highly promising talent, already proven at professional level in France and ready to continue his development in the Rossoneri colours.鈥�
Diawara progressed through the ranks at Troyes, making his senior debut in November, 2024. He was a key part of the team that won the second division title last season.
It is third signing of the summer after the Rossoneri splashed out a club record fee of around 74 million euros ($84 million) from Paris Saint-Germain and also brought in defender Mario Gila from Lazio.
