AC Milan Sign Belgium Winger Diego Moreira on Five-Year Deal

Providing Milan with a long-term wide option, the transfer also delivers a record fee to Strasbourg that could help the French club meet UEFA financial demands.

Overview

  • The transfer was announced Wednesday and Moreira signed a contract running to 30 June 2031 while taking squad number 22.
  • Media reports converge on a roughly €50 million fixed fee with performance-linked add-ons commonly cited in the €15–20 million range, though exact fixed/add‑on splits differ between outlets.
  • The sale is Strasbourg’s largest ever receipt and is expected to trigger a sell-on payment to Chelsea because a clause was included when Moreira left Stamford Bridge in 2024.
  • Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes played a central role in negotiating the deal, which Milan completed after Moreira underwent medicals and gave his first club interviews describing the move as a major step.
  • Sporting impact for Milan includes adding a versatile 22-year-old winger with World Cup experience while the financial impact for Strasbourg could ease UEFA scrutiny and shape further summer moves.
