  "account": "Belgian international winger Diego Moreira has committed to AC Milan with a five-year contract, according to both clubs. The 22-year-old will be with the Italian side until June 30, 2031. The Serie A club did not disclose the transfer fee, but multiple media outlets reported it to be €50 million (US$58 million), potentially the highest sale in Strasbourg's history. Moreira, a Belgium capped player, made just one appearance at the 2026 World Cup. After starting his professional journey with Benfica's reserve team, he moved to Chelsea in 2023 but played only one Premier League match before being loaned to Lyon. In 2024, he was transferred to Strasbourg for €8.5 million. Strasbourg has experienced significant departures this summer, including the €13 million fine for violating Financial Fair Play rules, leading to the exits of Argentine midfielder Valentin Barco and center-forward Emmanuel Emegha. Recently, attacking midfielders Julio Enciso and Abdoul Ouattara joined Ipswich Town, following former Strasbourg manager Gary O Neil.",
