Atalanta have officially announced the signing of Yunus Musah from AC Milan on an initial loan deal.
Musah’s fate has been uncertain throughout the summer, with talk of an imminent move to Napoli then followed up by rumours that Massimiliano Allegri desperately wanted to keep him at Milan, while Premier League sides were linked too.

Musah to Atalanta: Now official
On their official website, Atalanta write the following: “Atalanta BC are pleased to announce the acquisition, on a temporary basis until June 30 2026 with an option for a permanent transfer, of the sporting rights of the eclectic 22-year-old midfielder Yunus Musah from AC Milan.
“The Percassi and Pagliuca families, and the entire Atalanta club, warmly welcome Yunus Musah, wishing him the very best – both individually and collectively – wearing the Nerazzurri jersey.”
Fabrizio Romano announced as part of his ‘here we go’ tweet that it will be a €4m loan with a €25m option to buy, while Milan will reserve a 10% resale clause in case Musah is sold on.
eh one can only dream that it’s gonna become permanent next year
If only we were that lucky… 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good luck brother, too bad it didn’t work out for you in Milan.
It’s somewhat ironic that he leaves after having what I thought was a strong game vs Lecce. No, he didn’t get on the scoresheet and looked a little lost in the final 3rd, but compare him to Estupinan and I’d tell you who I’d want. He’s versatile and can play a bunch of spots.
At the same time, it’s not good enough for him or for Milan to have him as a squad player. He will not get better unless he gets to play. I still think somebody is going to turn him into a strong wingback/right back. After Lecce, I thought that might be Allegri. Oh well. Best of luck to Yunus.
