Ricardo Rodriguez “had the opportunity to join other European clubs, but right from the start wanted Milan,” said his agent.
The defender was signed from Wolfsburg last week for a reported €18m, joining along with Andre Silva, Franck Kessie and Mateo Musacchio.
“The negotiations began as soon as (directors Marco) Fassone and (Massimiliano) Mirabelli were formally appointed,” agent Gianluca Di Domenico told MilanNews.it.

“The negotiations began as soon as (directors Marco) Fassone and (Massimiliano) Mirabelli were formally appointed,” agent Gianluca Di Domenico told MilanNews.it.
“We know many CEOs and directors of sport, but few communicate with as much transparency and professionalism as Fassone and Mirabelli. We were impressed by their determination, speed and clarity.
“Ricardo has always admired Milan. When you arrive at Milanello and the Casa Milan HQ, you realise that this is a top club. We had the opportunity to join other good European clubs, but right from the start Ricardo wanted Milan.
“I saw a winning atmosphere here. Everyone is united, from the driver to Fassone, with an immense respect. Even the medical was conducted at the highest level.
“I really think Milan are going back to what they were like at their peak. Of course it takes time, but I am sure Milan will have a great campaign.
“Rodriguez and the other players who arrive this summer are proud and honoured to represent Milan, and that is important.”
