AC Milan have confirmed the signing of Luiz Adriano from Shakhtar Donetsk, and have handed him a five-year contract.
Adriano’s existing contract with the Ukrainian giants was expiring in December this year and the Rossoneri seemed to be tying him to a pre-contract before he moved to San Siro in the winter.
But the Brazilian is now set to join the Italians this summer after signing a contract that will see him in Milan until the summer of 2020.
A statement released on the AC Milan website confirmed the signing of the 28-year-old.
“AC Milan announces that it has today acquired outright from FC Shakhtar Donetsk Luiz Adriano, the player signed a contract expiring on 30th June 2020.

“The player will join the team in the coming days.”
Adriano joined Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2007 from Brazilian side Internacional and through the course of his time in the Ukraine, he went on to score 128 goals in 265 appearances in all competitions.
The forward has also earned four caps with the Brazil national team and has bagged a solitary goal in the process.
