Davide Calabria extends AC Milan contract to 2022

AC Milan full-back Davide Calabria has committed his future to the Rossoneri by agreeing a new contract extension.

The 21-year-old's previous deal was due to expire at the end of next season but will now take the youngster through to June 2022.

Calabria has been given a chance to impress this season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered by Andrea Conti, who had joined from Atalanta BC in July.

The defender's new deal was announced on Thursday by Milan chief executive Marco Fassone and sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli at the Rossoneri youth team Christmas party.

"Davide Calabria has renewed his contract with the Club through to 30th June 2022," Milan confirmed on Twitter, alongside a picture of the player holding a 2022 shirt.
