Milan Further Bolsters Attacking Prowess

Italian giants AC Milan have officially announced the signing of Belgian international Diego Moreira. The winger arrives from French club Strasbourg and has penned a contract with the Rossoneri until the summer of 2031. He will wear the number 22 shirt.

Born in Liège on August 6, 2004, Diego Moreira's youth career saw him develop through the academies of Standard Liège and Benfica, where he completed his footballing education before making his professional debut. At the Lisbon club, he established himself at youth level, helping the U19 team win the UEFA Youth League in the 2021/2022 season. Just a few months later, he also lifted the U20 Intercontinental Cup. The following season, he made his Champions League debut, participating in the qualifying rounds.

In the summer of 2023, Moreira moved to Chelsea, making his first-team debut on August 30 in a Carabao Cup match against Wimbledon.

During the 2023/2024 season, he also played for Lyon, before making a permanent transfer to Strasbourg in the summer of 2024. In Alsace, the wide forward gradually established himself as one of the brightest young talents in French football, showcasing speed, technical prowess, and tactical versatility.

On the international stage, Diego Moreira progressed through all of Portugal's youth national teams up to the U21 level, participating in the 2023 European Youth Championship. However, from 2025, he opted to represent the senior national team of Belgium. He debuted in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup and subsequently took part in the tournament itself.

"Milan extends a warm welcome to Diego and wishes him great success both personally and with the team," the club's official statement read.

Last season, Moreira played 42 club matches, scoring five goals and providing nine assists.

Milan will pay 50 million euros for Moreira, with an additional 16 million in bonuses. With his acquisition, the club has taken another step towards revamping its attack, having already invested a record 74 million euros in signing Gonçalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain.
