“Thank you to all the Coaches I’ve worked with over the years, because they helped me grow as a man and a player. Thank you to all the doctors, physiotherapists and lads at Milanelli. A special thanks for all those Rossoneri fans and teammates over the last few years, people who will remain unforgettable to me.

“I wish the best of luck to Leonardo and Paolo Maldini, as I am convinced they can bring Milan back to the top of the world.”

Antonelli came up through the Rossoneri youth academy and returned to San Siro in 2015 after spells with Parma and Genoa.

Last term, he was given only 13 competitive appearances for the club, scoring one goal.
