He scored 34 goals and provided 45 assists in 262 appearances with the Rossoneri, winning one Serie A title and one Supercoppa Italiana.
The video published by Milan showed some of his best goals for the Diavolo, but his departure became inevitable with his contract running down and demands for a huge salary to sign an extension rebuffed outright.

Portugal's João Félix Joins Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr on $35 Million Deal
Joao Felix took his total transfer cost to around $260 million Tuesday when completing his latest move — this time to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. The Portugal forward has teamed up with compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, joining from Chelsea for a reported initial fee of 30 million euros ($34.6 million) and signing a two-year contract. "I'm here to spread joy. Let's win together," Félix said in a video announcing his arrival, shared on Al Nassr's social media channels. He is the latest star player from Europe to move to Saudi Arabia as part of the kingdom's bid to become a major force in soccer. But his transfer from Club World Cup winner Chelsea is the latest in a long line of moves for a player who holds the record for the fourth most expensive signing in history, but has failed to live up to the expectations placed on him so early in his career. Still only 25, Félix has time to hit the heights he seemed destined for when joining Spanish giant Atletico Madrid from Benfica for $140 million in 2019. But his career has stalled since then with a series of loans to top teams including Chelsea, Barcelona and most recently AC Milan failing to see him establish himself among the very elite. According transfer date website Transfermarkt, Félix is behind only Neymar (222 million euros ($256 million)), Kylian Mbappe (180m euros ($208 million)) and Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele (both 135m euros ($155.8 million)) on the list of highest transfer fees in soccer. His value has dropped significantly — joining Chelsea for a reported $60 million last year, with his fee almost halving again to join Al Nassr. The move to Saudi Arabia is not guaranteed to reignite his career. While some have flourished, including the likes of Ronaldo and Aleksandar Mitrovic, Neymar left after an injury-disrupted time at Al-Hilal and Jordan Henderson and Jhon Duran only stayed for months before moving on. Al Nassr will hope Félix's arrival will see it win the title it has been waiting for since signing Ronaldo in a spectacular move late in 2022. While the Portugal great has helped raise the profile of Saudi Arabian soccer and continued to score at a prolific rate, he has had to watch rivals Al Ittihad (twice) and Al-Hilal crowned champion during his time in the league.

Report – Atalanta Hold Out For €50M Offer As Inter Milan Made Final Offer For Nigeria Star
Inter Milan have made their final bid for Ademola Lookman, but Atalanta continue to demand their original valuation for the standout forward. According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, La Dea will only sanction Lookman's sale for €50 million. Ivan Juric's side turned down Inter's opening bid for the 27-year-old. Indeed, they deemed a €40 million offer insufficient. However, Inter returned with an improved proposal this morning, tabling a €45 million bid. It consists of €40 million to be paid upfront and an additional €5 million in add-ons.

Report – Atalanta Could Give Inter Milan Discount For Nigeria Stalwart But On One Condition
Atalanta have yet to respond to the final offer made by Inter Milan for their headline forward Ademola Lookman. According to FCInterNews, there's only one way for the Nerazzurri to change La Dea's mind. Indeed, Ivan Juric's charges are open to discussing the transfer fee, but on one condition. They've already informed the San Siro club of their €50 million asking price and unpreparedness to budge on it. However, there's still a small wriggle room. Atalanta Open to Handing Inter Milan Discount for Ademola Lookman TURIN, ITALY – MARCH 09: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the Serie A match between Juventus and Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium on March 09, 2025 in Turin, Italy. (Photo by) Inter put forward an improved €45 million offer for Ademola Lookman after seeing their initial approach rejected. Meanwhile, the former Europa League winners are stubbornly holding out for their valuation. However, they're well aware of the 27-year-old's stance and his determined desire to join the Nerazzurri. Therefore, there's still hope for Inter that they could wrap the deal up in the coming days. Yet, it will require another adjustment to their proposal. Indeed, Atalanta will reportedly let Lookman go if they get €45 million upfront plus €2-3 million in add-ons.
