Adil Rami officially completes transfer to AC Milan

In a move that probably should have been completed long ago, centre-back Adil Rami has finalized his transfer from Valencia to AC Milan and signed a three-year deal with the Rossoneri.

The signing brings an end to Rami's hectic relationship with Valencia, who suspended him in October for lashing out at former manager Miroslav Djukic as well as teammates and sporting directors. The suspension led to Rami joining AC Milan in January on a six-month loan with an option to buy.

Valencia reportedly accepted a €4.25-million offer for the French defender, who - in a reminder of AC Milan's financial woes - had to fork over €.5 million from his own pocket just to complete the move.

Rami made 16 appearances for the Rossoneri in the 2013-14 Serie A campaign, notching three goals and one assist in that span.
