AC Milan is one of the big clubs in Italy. The club nicknamed the Rossoneri have a collection of 18 Serie A titles and seven Champions Leagues.

As a big club, AC Milan is also strengthened by many quality players. They also often bring in foreign players to strengthen their squad.

One of the most expensive foreign players Milan has ever bought is Rui Costa. The Portuguese midfielder was redeemed from Fiorentina for 41.3 million euros.

Although often buying foreign players, AC Milan is also not anti-signing local players. Even the Rossoneri often have to spend deeply to recruit Italian-blooded players, for example Filippo Inzaghi.

Apart from Filippo Inzaghi , who are the Italian players who came to AC Milan at an expensive price? Here are the names.

Alberto Gilardino
Alberto Gilardino joined AC Milan in July 2005. The Rossoneri bought Gilardino for 25 million euros from Parma.

The former Italian national team bomber played for Milan for three years. Gilardino scored 44 goals in 132 games during his time at the San Siro.

AC Milan bought Alessandro Nesta from Lazio in 2002. The former Lazio captain was redeemed for 31 million euros.

The Italian defender played more than 200 games for Milan. Nesta also brought the Red-Black squad to two Serie A titles and the Champions League.

Nesta is remembered as one of the world’s best defenders and a Milan legend. He left San Siro in 2012 to join Montreal Impact.

Filippo Inzaghi
Filippo Inzaghi had become a mainstay on the front lines of Juventus. However, Inzaghi decided to move to AC Milan following the arrival of David Trezeguet.

The player, nicknamed Super Pippo, had a lot of success with Milan. The price of 36 million euros, which was very expensive in that season, paid off in full.

Inzaghi led Milan to two Serie A titles and the Champions League. He also scored 126 goals in 300 appearances for the Rossoneri.

Mattia Caldara
Mattia Caldara joined AC Milan in August 2018. Milan paid 35 million euros to buy Caldara from Juventus. Then, there is the name of Leonardo Bonucci in the transfer agreement.

Caldara failed to become a regular player with Milan. He only played two games with the Rossoneri, not even in Serie A.

Caldara was then loaned to Atalanta in January 2020. The 27-year-old player is currently on loan at Venice.

Leonardo Bonucci
AC Milan bought Leonardo Bonucci from Juventus for 42 million euros in July 2017. Bonucci’s name also entered the Milan record books as the most expensive purchase in the club’s history.
