AC Milan completes €25-million signing of Alessio Romagnoli from AS Roma

Alessio Romagnoli is about to be on the front page of every Italian newspaper.

AC Milan announced Tuesday that the 20-year-old centre-back has completed his move from AS Roma, passing a medical and signing a contract with the Rossoneri until 2020.

Milan and Roma agreed to a transfer fee of €25 million for the Italian defender, the latter confirmed.

Romagnoli is widely regarded as one of the most up-and-coming defenders in Serie A and was part of Italy's squad at this summer's European Under-21 Championship. He spent last season on loan at Sampdoria, tallying two goals and two assists through 30 appearances while averaging an impressive 6.3 clearances per game.

Romagnoli, however, seems intent on burning bridges as he leaves the Stadio Olimpico. A photo of what appears to be Romagnoli trolling Roma by wearing a Lazio shirt started making the rounds Tuesday.

Of course, it should be pointed out that he's a known supporter of Lazio and there's no proof of when the picture was taken. That said, he'll likely receive a villain's welcome when Milan visits Roma on Jan. 9.
