AEK’s opponent in the Champions League Group Stage (AEK will host them in Nea Filadelfia) will pay €45 million to Milan, while the deal includes bonuses and a sell-on clause, according to reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Turks also convinced the Portuguese forward to say “yes,” as he had been hesitant all along and was waiting for offers from a top-tier league.
Thus, Galatasaray has secured a top-tier player who has been a standout for all these years in a Milan jersey, scoring 80 goals and recording 65 assists in 291 appearances across all competitions. With the Italians, he won one league title and one Super Cup.
