Sports News Today in history: Sulley Muntari joins AC Milan
JAN 12, 2015 LISTEN

On 12th January, 2012, AC Milan confirmed the signing of Sulley Muntari on loan from city rivals Inter for the rest of the 2012-13 season.

Inter signed Muntari from Portsmouth in 2008 for a fee of €14 million but the player never came close to justifying his price tag and was repeatedly linked with a move to Napoli and Galatasaray however it came as a big surprise when AC Milan pounced in to sign the player on loan, before he later signed a permanent deal in June.

The Ghanaian only made four Serie A appearances for Inter Milan in the first half of the 2012-13 season, hence his move was necessary to make him gain much playing time.

Muntari played part role in the Inter Milan set up which won the treble-Serie A, Coppa Italia and the Uefa Champions League-in 2010.

The 30-year-old midfielder has since been a regular player in AC Milan's scheme of things, scoring thirteen (13) goals in seventy five (75) games.
