AC Milan Bolster Defence With Signing Of French Youngster Sankhoun Diawara
FC Solitaires Paris: AC Milan have completed the signing of highly-rated French defender Sankhoun Diawara from Ligue 2 champions Troyes, with the 20-year-old putting pen to paper on a long-term contract that will keep him at the San Siro until June 30, 2031, with an option to extend for a further season.
The Rossoneri confirmed the transfer on Wednesday, adding another promising young talent to new head coach Rúben Amorim's squad ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. Diawara becomes Milan's third signing of the summer after the club invested a reported record fee of around 74 million euros (USD 84 million) to sign Portuguese forward Goncalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain and also brought in Spanish defender Mario Gila from Lazio.
Born in Paris on January 13, 2006, Diawara began his football journey in the youth systems of FC Solitaires Paris and CA Paris-Charenton before joining Troyes' academy in 2020. He steadily progressed through the ranks and made his senior debut for the French club in the Coupe de France in November 2024.
