Mattia De Sciglio joins Juventus from AC Milan for €12M

Another full-back is at the Allianz Stadium.

Mattia De Sciglio joined Juventus and put pen to paper Thursday on a five-year contract upon completing his move from AC Milan. The agreement is valued at €12 million, payable in three financial years, and may increase by a maximum of €500,000 if certain conditions are met.

De Sciglio's flirtations with Juventus resulted in tension between the Italian full-back and Milan's supporters. He was jeered during a game between the Rossoneri and Empoli, and then, according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport relayed by the Guardian's Paolo Bandini, an angry fan "set upon" the defender's car after the match ended. That reportedly led to a confrontation in which the footballer's mother was shoved and a bottle of beer was thrown, with at least one person eventually arrested.

Leonardo Bonucci's unbelievable transfer to Milan was held up by De Sciglio until the Rossoneri and Juventus agreed to treat the two moves as separate deals, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

A product of Milan's academy, De Sciglio debuted for the Rossoneri's first team at just 18 years of age. Last season, he made 25 Serie A appearances as the club achieved a berth in the Europa League.
