Official: AC Milan announce signing of Damir Zukic for Milan Futuro – photo

AC Milan have announced the signing of Damir Zukić who has joined the club on a permanent basis from ND Primorje.

The Slovenian defender, born in Ljubljana on 21 May 2004, has been linked over the past few days and he will be part of the Milan Futuro squad under head coach Daniele Bonera, the official website confirms.

He actually only joined his current team six months ago but has taken advantage of the opportunities presented to him and has shown enough that Milan were alerted to his quality.

Zukic has played five times for the senior team since February and impressed during a crucial 3-0 win against the reigning champions of the Slovenian top flight, so he may feel more senior than other defenders in the team.
