MILAN — Yunus Musah is following United States teammate Christian Pulisic to American-owned AC Milan.
Musah, who was born in New York but grew up in Italy and England, signed a five-year contract with the Rossoneri on Friday following a transfer from Valencia.
Pulisic joined Milan on a four-year deal last month.
Milan is controlled by the American investment firm RedBird Capital Partners led by Gerry Cardinale, and baseball’s New York Yankees are a minority investor.
The 20-year-old Musah is a midfielder who was a regular starter in his three seasons at Valencia. He spent part of his childhood in Castelfranco Veneto near Venice.
Musah has made 27 appearances for the United States.
