Milan hijack Rangers agreement to sign Amadou Diawara
According to reports from Football Italia, AC Milan have hijacked a transfer agreement that Scottish side Rangers had in place for Amadou Diawara. The Guinean midfielder, formerly of Napoli and Roma, was believed to be on his way to Ibrox but Milan swooped in late to secure his signature. The deal is described as a 'done deal' in the headline. Diawara was available on a free transfer after his contract with AS Roma expired, making him an attractive target for multiple clubs. The move gives Milan additional midfield depth ahead of the new season.

Losing out on a free agent is a minor setback for Rangers but not a major blow given their squad depth. For Milan's title challenge, adding a experienced Serie A midfielder adds rotational quality but is unlikely to be a transformative signing. The 'hijack' framing is typical transfer window drama — the financial terms for a free agent mean multiple clubs can negotiate simultaneously.
