Junior Messias will keep wearing the colors of the Rossoneri.

The Brazilian arrived from Crotone on loan with option to buy last summer and the club decided to keep Messias.

Yesterday the 31-year-old was at Casa Milan to sign the contract and today the official announcement arrived:

“Milan is delighted to announce that Walter Messias Junior has joined the Club on a permanent basis from Crotone FC. The Brazilian forward has signed a contract with the Club until 30 June 2024. After making 32 appearances and scoring six goals in the Club’s title-winning campaign, Junior will continue to wear the Rossoneri shirt.”

It’s believed that keeping Messias costs Milan around €4 million. His presence does not stop the Rossoneri from pursuing reinforcements in attack, such as Hakim Ziyech and Charles De Ketelaere.
