Vincenzo Montella has signed a new contract with AC Milan after leading the Serie A club back into Europe.
Montella agreed a 2-year deal running to 2019 in a Facebook Live event streamed by Milan on Tuesday.
The former Italy international saw Milan to a 6th place finish in Serie A this season, earning a place in the qualifying rounds for the Europa League, despite winning only one of their last 7 league games.
Milan picked out European qualification, a late equaliser against rivals Inter and a win against Bologna with 9 men among the reasons Montella has been handed a new deal.
AC Milan have announced the signing of centre-back Mateo Musacchio from Villarreal on a 4-year deal.
The defender underwent a medical last week and he has now formalised his move to San Siro, with Milan believed to have paid a fee in the region of €18 million.
The 26-year-old started his professional career with River Plate before joining Villarreal in 2009.
He made well over 200 appearances in all competitions, but will now continue his career in Serie A.
Musacchio becomes Milan's first signing ahead of next season as they look to re-build their squad.
Veteran goalkeeper Marco Storari has signed a new contract that will keep him at AC Milan until June 2018.
The 40-year-old returned for a second spell at Milan from Cagliari in January on a 6-month deal, with Gabriel moving in the opposite direction on loan.
Storari did not feature for the Rossoneri in 2016-2017, but they have nonetheless opted to hand him a one-year renewal as experienced back-up for teenage sensation Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The 'keeper started his professional career at Ancona and represented Napoli and Messina before arriving at Milan for the first time in 2007.
After loan spells with Levante, Cagliari, Fiorentina and Sampdoria, he left Milan on a permanent basis in 2010, signing a contract with Juventus to become Gianluigi Buffon's deputy in Turin.
Storari returned to Cagliari in 2015 and will now be relied upon to aid the development of Donnarumma, Alessandro Guarnone and Alessandro Plizzari.
AC Milan have confirmed the signing of Franck Kessie from Atalanta on a 2-year loan deal which includes an obligation to buy.
Goal reported earlier in May that the 20-year-old had agreed a 5-year contract worth €2,5 million per year and will cost the San Siro club €28 million.
The 20-year-old midfielder, who had attracted interest from Chelsea and Manchester United, will be on loan at Milan until 2019 before they snap him up on a permanent deal.
Kessie scored 6 goals and provided 4 assists in 30 league appearances as Atalanta finished 4th in Serie A, 19 points behind leaders Juventus.
AC Milan have completed the signing of full-back Ricardo Rodriguez on a 4-year deal.
The Switzerland international has finalised his move from VfL Wolfsburg in a deal that will reportedly cost Milan €17 million.
Milan posted footage of Rodriguez signing his contract on their official Facebook page on Thursday.
The 24-year-old is the third Milan signing since Silvio Berlusconi sold the club to Chinese consortium Rossoneri Sport Investment Lux in April for €740 million.
AC Milan have completed the signing of Andre Silva from FC Porto for a reported transfer fee of €38 million.
The Serie A giants were keen to sign a new striker and turned their sights to the Portuguese after refusing to match FC Torino's €100 million valuation of Italy international Andrea Belotti.
Silva arrived in Milano for a medical on Monday and becomes their 4th new arrival ahead of next season after the captures of Mateo Musacchio, Franck Kessie and Ricardo Rodriguez.
The 21-year-old joined the Porto youth academy in 2011 and made his first-team debut in December 2015.
Portugal international Silva, who has scored 7 goals in 8 caps, had since developed into a key player at the Estadio do Dragao and scored 21 goals in 43 appearances in all competitions in 2016-2017.
AC Milan have announced the return of goalkeeper Christian Abbiati, who has been appointed club manager at San Siro.
Abbiati spent 15 seasons as a Milan player before retiring at the end of the 2015-2016 campaign, winning 3 Serie A titles and the Champions League in the 2002-2003 campaign.
In a statement, Milan explained Abbiati will act as a link between Vincenzo Montella's team and the board, with Chinese group Sino-Europe Sports having completed a takeover in April.
Fabio Borini has completed his move to AC Milan from Sunderland on loan with an obligation to purchase.
The forward's switch to San Siro was confirmed on Friday as he signed the contract in a Facebook live video.
Borini is Milan's fifth signing ahead of the 2017-2018 season, following the arrivals of Andre Silva, Ricardo Rodriguez, Mateo Musacchio and Franck Kessie.
The 26-year-old's switch to the Serie A heavyweights comes as a surprise after he only scored twice in 24 Premier League appearances as Sunderland finished bottom last season and suffered relegation to the Championship.
Borini joined Sunderland from Liverpool in 2015, having previously spent a spell on loan at the Stadium of Light in 2013-2014. He has also represented Chelsea, Swansea City, Parma and AS Roma.
He has one Italy cap, which he received in 2012.
Hakan Calhanoglu has become AC Milan's 6th signing ahead of the new Serie A season, joining from Bayer Leverkusen in a reported €20 million move as Vincenzo Montella plots an assault on the title fight.
Milan have confirmed the 23-year-old has completed his move and signed a 4-year contract with the club.
After revealing his switch was imminent, Calhanoglu flew to Milan on Sunday where he underwent initial fitness tests, before his full medical took place throughout Monday.
The attacking midfielder follows Franck Kessie, Ricardo Rodriguez, Mateo Musacchio, Andre Silva and Fabio Borini in making the move to San Siro as the Rossoneri look to take the fight to Scudetto-hogging Juventus.
Reports in Italy suggest that while Calhanoglu will cost Milan an initial €20 million, it is a deal that could rise in value to €24 million once add-ons are taken into account.
The Turkey international has not played since January due to a FIFA ban relating to contract dispute with Trabzonspor, whom he is said to have agreed to join before pulling out in 2011, being upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The 23-year-old waived his wages for the duration of his 4-month suspension and reportedly opted against an appeal in order to be available for a transfer in the close-season.
Andrea Conti has completed his move from Atalanta to AC Milan, becoming the Serie A side's 7th signing ahead of the new season.
Andre Silva, Hakan Calhanoglu, Mateo Musacchio, Ricardo Rodriguez, Franck Kessie and Fabio Borini have all switched to the San Siro, while coach Vincenzo Montella has agreed a new contract.
Conti, who has has penned a 5-year deal at San Siro, won his first full Italy cap in May's friendly thrashing of San Marino.
The right-back started 31 Serie A games last season as Atalanta finished 4th in the table, two places above Milan, qualifying for the Europa League as a result.
Gianluigi Donnarumma has signed a new 4-year deal with AC Milan to disappoint a host of high-profile suitors.
The 18-year-old goalkeeper brought the long-running saga over his future to an end by committing to the San Siro club until 2021, with the likes of FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain having been credited with an interest in him.
Donnarumma, who is represented by agent Mino Raiola, had rejected an offer to extend his contract beyond 2018, but the promise of improved terms - thought to be €6 million per month - have encouraged a change of heart.
The news comes after prolonged speculation over Donnarumma's intentions, with the Italy international having been widely tipped to leave.

He deleted his Instagram account and claimed it was hacked during the European U21 Championship after a string of mixed messages on social media and also had fake money thrown at him by angry supporters during Italy's match against Denmark in that competition.
AC Milan have reached an agreement for the stunning signing of Italy centre-back Leonardo Bonucci from Serie A champions Juventus, pending a medical.
The 30-year-old has signed a 5-year contract at San Siro on the back of 6 consecutive top flight titles with Juve, the last 3 of which stand as half of domestic doubles on the back of triumphs in the 2015, 2016 and 2017 Coppa Italia Finals.
The deal is reported to be worth €40 million.
Bonucci formed part of European club football's most formidable backline alongside Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli in Turin, in front of evergreen goalkeeping great Gianluigi Buffon.
Manchester City and Chelsea were reported to hold an interest in the former Inter Milano and Bari man 12 months ago, although he briefly quelled speculation over his future by penning a contract extension until 2021 at Juventus Stadium last December.
However, an argument with head coach Massimiliano Allegri during February's 4-1 win over Palermo resulted in Bonucci being dropped for the subsequent trip to FC Porto, while the player denied allegations of a half-time bust-up with Paulo Dybala and Barzagli during the Champions League Final loss to Real Madrid in Cardiff - a rumour that has continued to fester and is unlikely to lose any of its potency now Milan have made their move.
Under the ambitious ownership of Yonghong Li's Rossoneri Sport Investment Lux group, Milan have embarked upon an ambitious programme of close-season spending, within which Bonucci is now the jewel.

What a shocking move !
Bonucci joins AC Milan.
AC Milan have confirmed the signing of Lucas Biglia, the midfielder arriving from Lazio to join the club's revolution under their new owners, Yonghong Li's Rossoneri Sport Investment Lux group.
Milan completed a major coup with the signing of Juventus defensive lynchpin Leonardo Bonucci for €42 million on Friday and Biglia becomes the 10th new arrival of the transfer window at San Siro.
The 31-year-old Argentina international has long been a target for Milan and the Rossoneri have paid a reported €17 million plus €3 million in bonuses to bring him to the club, with Biglia signing a 3-year contract.
Vincenzo Montella has significantly overhauled his squad after signing a new contract in May and Biglia is the latest fresh face through the door ahead of the new Serie A season.
New AC Milan signing Lucas Biglia is facing up to a month on the sidelines after suffering a thigh injury.
The 31-year-old joined from Lazio on a 3-year deal last month as part of Milan's extensive efforts to overhaul their playing squad for the 2017-2018 season.
Biglia played the second half of the Rossoneri's 4-0 International Champions Cup win over Bayern Munchen, but has not made an appearance since that clash in Shenzhen.
The club have now confirmed he is unlikely to be available again until the middle of September after sustaining a muscle problem.
Biglia will miss Milan's 2-legged Europa League qualifier against Shkendija and is likely to be unavailable for the first 3 Serie A matches of the season against Crotone, Cagliari and Lazio.

AC Milan scored 6 goals in a European match for the first time in 24 years in their Europa League play-off thrashing of Shkendija on Thursday.
The Rossoneri romped to a 6-0 victory over the Macedonian side at San Siro to all but guarantee their place in the group stages draw on 25 August.
Andre Silva and Riccardo Montolivo each scored twice, with Fabio Borini and Luca Antonelli also on the scoresheet, as Vincenzo Montella's side ran riot.
The result marked the first time Milan have hit at least 6 goals in a continental match since October 1993, when they beat FC Copenhagen by the same scoreline in Denmark.
AC Milan have continued their overhaul for the 2017-2018 season with the capture of Nikola Kalinic from Fiorentina, on loan with an obligation to buy.
Reports suggest the forward will cost Milan a total of €25 million, made up of an initial €5 million loan fee and €20 million to make it permanent at the end of the season.
Kalinic has signed a 4-year contract at San Siro, having passed his medical and completed his move on Tuesday to become the club's 11th signing of a dramatic transfer window.
The 29-year-old spent the last 2 seasons with Fiorentina, scoring 27 Serie A goals.
He will compete with fellow new arrival Andre Silva for starting striker duties at Milan, with youngster Patrick Cutrone also still at the club.
The Croatia international's transfer was sanctioned by Fiorentina after they completed the signing of striker Giovanni Simeone from Genoa.
