USMNT Midfielder Yunus Musah Completes €25M Loan Move to Atalanta from AC Milan

Yunus Musah, the 22-year-old USMNT midfielder, is set to leave AC Milan on a loan deal to Atalanta worth up to €25 million, including a loan fee and an option to buy that is not mandatory. Musah’s move marks the end of a challenging season at Milan, where he struggled with consistency, was played out of position, and was left off the USMNT roster for recent international friendlies. The loan deal provides Atalanta with a chance to evaluate Musah’s fit in their squad, while Milan retains control by having Musah renew his contract before the loan. Despite a temporary setback caused by teammate Ardon Jashari's injury, which forced Milan to reconsider their midfield depth, the transfer was completed ahead of the European transfer deadline. Musah expressed his need for a break after a tough season, explaining he needed to 'switch off' following his absence from the Gold Cup. The move offers Musah an opportunity to regain form and playing time, with his next chance to join the USMNT roster coming in October for friendlies against Ecuador and Australia.
