AC Milan have completed the signing of Gabriel Paletta from Parma.

The deal was eventually confirmed on Monday afternoon after the player had a medical in the morning.

The Rossoneri announced on their official website that the player had signed a three-and-a-half year contract until 2018.

“AC Milan announce that they have acquired Gabriel Paletta of Parma FC on a permanent basis,” the statement said.

“The player has signed a contract until June 2018.”

The 28-year-old made 107 appearances for Parma in five years at the club after joining from Boca Juniors in 2010, and was part of the Italy World Cup squad in 2014 despite being born in Buenos Aires.
