AS Roma defender Philippe Mexes is excited about his move to AC Milan. Mexes went public about the agreement yesterday, after several weeks of hints from AC Milan coach Massimliano Allegri.
The defender will leave the capital outfit at the end of the season to join the Rossoneri on a Bosman free, seeing as his contract in the Eternal City expires next month.
"I spent some stupendous years in the capital. Rome, for me, is my second home. But I am now arriving at one of the greatest and most successful clubs in the world.
"I'm joining Milan and I'm happy that I am going to be a part of this team for the next four years. I'm proud, especially when I look at the new jersey with the Scudetto shield on it."
Mexes has been linked with Milan for the past few years, but he insists he only decided to quit Roma over the course of the present campaign.
"I took the decision to leave the Giallorossi during the winter, but Milan were the only Italian club I could join - I couldn't have moved to another," he added.
"Had I not come to Milan then I would have moved abroad.
"I'm here to win, the Rossoneri are an elite club in the world game and my objective is the Champions League."
