Reports: Milan seal signing of 18-year-old attacking talent from Chelsea – the details

AC Milan have closed yet another deal with Chelsea, as Yahya Idrissi Regragui is set to sign for the club in the coming hours.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio and Luca Maninetti, Milan have secured the signing of Regragui on a permanent deal. The 18-year-old actually arrived at La Madonnina clinic this morning to begin his medical, so the announcement cannot be too far away.

Who is Yahya Idrissi Regragui? The Chelsea website describes him as a ‘very versatile player with the the ability to take on multiple attacking positions. He is an attacking midfielder who ‘enjoys dribbling with the ball, sprinting quickly and getting into goal-scoring positions’.

In 2023-24 he rose to stardom with the U16 team, scoring 19 goals and adding 14 assists, earning a promotion to the U18s where he scored once in four appearances. He is also capped by Morocco at youth international level too, most recently playing for them in the U18s.

The forward signed his professional contract with Chelsea back in April, having become a permanent fixture in the U18s team. Now, however, a new adventure awaits in Milan as he follows the likes of Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud who swapped Stamford Bridge for the San Siro.
