Sankhoun Diawara is officially a new AC Milan player. The French-Senegalese defender has signed a contract until 2031, as highlighted in the official statement released by the Rossoneri club.
Here’s the official statement:
"AC Milan today announced the signing of Sankhoun Diawara from ESTAC Troyes. The French defender has signed a contract with the Club until 30 June 2031, with an option to extend.
Born in Paris on 13 January 2006, Diawara developed through the youth academies of FC Solitaires Paris and CA Paris-Charenton before joining Troyes' academy in 2020.
Having completed his development with the French club, he made his first-team debut in November 2024 in the Coupe de France. The following season, he made 17 appearances across the league and domestic cup competitions, helping Troyes secure promotion to Ligue 1 and win the Ligue 2 title. His performances quickly established him as one of the most promising young defenders in French football.
A left-footed centre-back, Diawara combines technical quality, physical strength and personality. These attributes make him a highly promising talent, already proven at professional level in France and ready to continue his development in the Rossoneri colours.
Sankhoun Diawara will wear the number 13 shirt.
The Club extends a warm welcome to Sankhoun."
