DONE DEAL: AC Milan and player has just signed full-back from EPL giants

Departing Liverpool full-back Emma Koivisto has agreed to join Italian Serie A Femminile eBay club AC Milan.

The Red and Blacks announced news of the transfer via a post on their official club website just a short time ago.

The 29-year-old Finnish international defender will join AC Milan upon the expiry of her contract at Liverpool on 1 July 2024. She has signed a three-year contract with the Italian club.

Koivisto joined Liverpool from Brighton & Hove Albion in summer 2022. The full-back went on to make 40 appearances for The Reds in the Barclays Women’s Super League in which she scored four goals.

Koivisto was a member of a Liverpool side that achieved massively in 2023/2024. The Merseyside club defied the odds to end the campaign in fourth place in the Barclays Women’s Super League table. Koivisto largely operated in a wing-back position during her time with Liverpool and new club AC Milan have indicated that she could play even higher for them with the player being listed as a winger.

It is fair to say that Koivisto joins an AC Milan side that will be wanting much more in 2024/2025. The Red and Blacks ended their latest campaign in sixth position in the Serie A Femminile eBay table, some way off where the club want to be long-term.

AC Milan could sign another player from Chelsea this summer.

The Serie A club recruited both Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea last year.

The pair had good seasons in Serie A as well.

Pulisic scored 12 goals and provided eight assists in 36 appearances, while Loftus-Cheek managed to net six times in 29 outings.

Given all of his injury problems, the fact that he was able to play almost 30 games means the last campaign was a positive one. It now looks like the midfielder and Pulisic could be joined by one of their former teammates at the San Siro.

AC Milan could do more shopping in west London

It has been claimed that Milan are interested in signing Romelu Lukaku on loan this summer.

However, the striker is not the only Chelsea player who they appear to be looking at.

According to the Daily Express, Milan are also showing interest in Armando Broja and the 22-year-old finds a potential move to the Serie A outfit enticing.

The same outlet claims that Chelsea would be willing to sell their forward for around £30m.

Armando Broja has disappointed at Euro 2024

Chelsea would have been hoping for Broja to have a good Euro 2024 so that his value would go up.

Unfortunately for them, he has struggled at the tournament.

Broja started for Albania in their group opener against Italy before being dropped for their two remaining games versus Croatia and Spain.

He could not stop Albania from being eliminated from the European Championship, with his country finishing bottom of their group.

Broja is still very young, though. He should get more opportunities at future tournaments.

As for now, the Chelsea academy graduate can start thinking about his future again, with a move to Milan looking like a real possibility this summer. Moving there was good for Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek, maybe it could be the same for him.
