Belgium Winger Diego Moreira Joins AC Milan in Latest Big-Money Sale by Strasbourg

Strasbourg’s sales this week reached about €100 million as the club moved to cut costs after a €13 million UEFA fine.

  • On Wednesday, Belgian winger Diego Moreira signed a five-year contract with AC Milan, departing French Ligue 1 club Strasbourg. The 22-year-old joins the Serie A side on a deal running until June 30, 2031.
  • Strasbourg is offloading players following a 13 million euro fine imposed by UEFA in June for Financial Fair Play breaches. UEFA told the BlueCo-owned club to 'significantly decrease' player costs after missing European competition.
  • Moreira previously played for Benfica, Chelsea, and Lyon before joining Strasbourg for 8.5 million euros. The winger appeared as a substitute in Belgium's 3-2 win over Senegal during the 2026 FIFA World Cup round of 32.
  • Moreira's departure brings Strasbourg's sales this week to about 100 million euros , marking the club's record transaction. Milan will integrate the winger as it prepares for the upcoming Europa League campaign under coach Ruben Amorim.
  • Milan finished fifth in Serie A last season, qualifying only for the Europa League this campaign. The arrival of Moreira signals the club's ambitions under Amorim to compete in European competition while rebuilding domestically.
