Diego Moreira, the Belgian winger, inks a five-year contract with AC Milan.

Diego Moreira, a Belgian international winger, has officially joined AC Milan on a five-year contract from French club Strasbourg, as confirmed by both teams on Wednesday. The 22-year-old has committed to the Serie A side until June 30, 2031. While the exact transfer fee has not been publicly disclosed, reports suggest it is around 50 million euros (approximately $58 million), marking a record sale for Strasbourg.

Moreira, who has earned four caps for the Belgian national team, made his World Cup debut in 2026. His professional journey began with Benfica's reserve squad before he made a move to Chelsea in 2023. However, his time in the Premier League was brief, as he only featured in one match before being loaned to Lyon. The following year, he transferred to Strasbourg for a fee of 8.5 million euros.

This summer has been challenging for Strasbourg, as the club has seen several significant player exits. This wave of departures follows a hefty 13 million euro fine imposed by UEFA in late June due to violations of Financial Fair Play regulations. The club has been forced to make tough decisions regarding its roster as it navigates these financial constraints.

Among the notable transfers, Argentine midfielder Valentin Barco has moved to Chelsea, while centre-forward Emmanuel Emegha has also left the club. Additionally, attacking midfielders Julio Enciso and Abdoul Ouattara have joined Premier League side Ipswich Town, reuniting with their former manager at Strasbourg, Gary O'Neil. These changes reflect a significant shift in the team's composition as they prepare for the upcoming season.
