Marco Pellegrino is delighted to have joined AC Milan.

The young defender arrives from Atletico Platense and has signed a five-year contract.

Pellegrino told Milan TV: "It's a dream to be here, when I learned of the Club's interest I spoke to my family, we were excited and we could not believe it.

"Today I am here and I am very happy that this is reality.":

He also said: “My idol is Segio Ramos, and today I like 'El Cuti' Romero. For me he is a complete defender, and I try to follow him."
