MILAN, July 7 — Junior Messias completed his rise from delivery man to Serie A star today when his move to AC Milan was made permanent by the Italian champions.
Milan have deposited Messias’ contract with Serie A after renegotiating the purchase fee to a reported €4.5 million plus bonuses. He arrived in Italy to live with his brother in 2011 and slowly rose through the lower reaches of Italian football — at one point transporting fridges for a living — before being picked up by then-Serie B club Crotone in January 2019.
However his rise was far from smooth, with a 2017 move to historic club Pro Vercelli — winners of seven league titles in the early years of last century — blocked because Serie B clubs were banned from signing players without EU passports from amateur leagues.
