“I was above all pushed by the desire Milan had to sign me. They wanted me more than anyone, including the teams from abroad, so I wanted to go into this with great hunger and determination. I can’t wait to get on the pitch,” Florenzi told Milan TV.

AC Milan is back in the Champions League for the first time after being knocked out by Atletico Madrid in 2014.
