It is reportedly a one-season loan at a cost of €4m, with option to buy for a further €24m at the end of the campaign, although Sky Sport Italia put the option at closer to €26m.

The USMNT star has 47 senior caps for his country and leaves Milan after 82 competitive appearances, where he contributed five assists, but no goals.

His departure has created room for Milan to replace him with Adrien Rabiot, arriving from Olympique Marseille for a reunion with his former Juventus coach Max Allegri.

That deal is worth around €10m including add-ons and he underwent his medical tests in Paris, where he is on international duty with France.
