Rossoneri Round-up for 8 July: Halilovic ‘can’t wait’ to put on the famous Milan shirt

The World Cup might still be going on, but Milan’s started their training camp, getting ready for preseason. And while there hasn’t been a ton of movement for Milan, at least one new face is in camp.

Alen Halilovic, who came to Milan after his contract was cancelled by Hamburger SV, wrote on Instagram:

I would like to thank my former clubs Las Palmas and Hamburger SV for everything, now it’s time for a new chapter in my career.

Now I’m a player of Milan! Such a big club with a great history. I really can’t wait to wear this legendary jersey and do my best for the Rossoneri! Forza Milan!

At least one player is excited about the future at Milan, right?
