The contract stipulates the obligation to purchase the Italian striker outright,” said a statement by AC Milan. AC Milan, the seven-time European champions who were recently sold by long-time owner Silvio Berlusconi to a Chinese consortium, finished sixth in Serie A last season to secure a place in next season’s Europa League.
