Antonio Cassano’s transfer from Sampdoria to Milan was officialised yesterday. The 28-year-old had already joined his new team-mates at their winter training camp in Dubai on Dec. 27.

His move came following a falling out with Samp president Riccardo Garrone after Cassano allegedly gravely insulted him.

Milan were quick to move in and although there was an initial stumbling block relating to a five million euro payment still owed by Samp to Cassano’s previous club Real Madrid, the two Italian clubs and the forward soon found a resolution to the problem, each contributing to the financial settlement.
