AC Milan have announced the signing of Mark van Bommel, a deal that will see the Dutch
dreadnought move to the San Siro 'with immediate effect' after Bayern Munich agreed to terminate
his dwindling contract.

youth setup to mature for a couple of years, before finally being allowed to join up with senior
side on his 35th birthday.
