Yacine Adli is delighted to have joined AC Milan.

The midfielder spent last season on-loan with Bordeaux.

“I was in the PSG academy with Ballò-Tourè and Maignan. Mike is a bit older than me so I saw him play for a long time, especially when I was younger. I played for a few moments instead with Fodè so there we already know a little bit but here we can get to know each other even better. It is a wonderful place to play with other Parisian boys," he said.

“I know Ismael [Bennacer] very well, we have the same agent and have known each other for a long time. I think he's a great player, probably one of the best midfielders right now. What he does is incredible and I'm sure he can do even better to show everyone he can. become an important name in the world of football."

Some have likened Adli to a young Zinedine Zidane and he added: “Zidane is a player I admired a lot and watched a lot. I played for 3 years in Bordeaux and played 100 games in Ligue 1 so I gained experience. Now I have come to a completely different club with a fantastic group of players. Now. I have to get used to and be ready to help the coach and the team and earn a place in the first team."
