| "I'm very
happy, it was a long negotiation that fortunately ended in the best way,"
Gilardino told Milan's in-house television channel. "Everything about this team
fascinates me -- the club, the history, the top players who are part of it.
Gilardino has signed a five-year contract. Milan gave no immediate details of
the size of the transfer fee.
Parma were asking for 35 million euros ($42.25 million) when Milan first
enquired about Gilardino towards the end of last term with an initial offer
above 20 million.
The 23-year-old Gilardino, who has scored 46 goals in 72 games over the last
two seasons, will form a strike partnership with European Footballer of the Year
Andriy Shevchenko.
