AC Milan have officially confirmed that Laia Codina has signed for the Women’s team. The defender comes to the team on loan from her parent club, FC Barcelona.

Her signing is also proof that Milan can attract talented players who are entering their prime. The fact of which, bodes well for the team in the future.
The defender is expected to play a big role for Milan and to help them contest for titles this season. You’ll be able to watch Laia play for the Rossonere on the official AC Milan app, Dailymotion page, and on the official site for the Italian television channel, La7.
