Chelsea have now come out and announced on the club website that forward Yahya Idrissi has completed a permanent transfer to Serie A club AC Milan after the decision was made to allow him to leave the club.
He signed his first professional contract with the club just 10 months ago, in April 2025, and is expected to become a Moroccan international, having been first called up to the national team’s under-17 setup at just 13-years-old.
But the Blues made the big decision to allow him to leave the club on a permanent basis after AC Milan showed a strong interest in getting a transfer deal done, and after a few weeks or talks, a move was announced on deadline day.
The Blues posted: ‘The versatile forward joined our Academy from West Ham United aged 11 and was developed through the youth ranks at Cobham.
‘Idrissi was heavily involved in our Under-17 Premier League Cup win during the 2023/24 campaign and made his Under-18s debut that season, scoring once in four appearances.
‘He continued to feature for our Under-18s in the 2024/25 campaign, during which the Morocco youth international signed his first professional contract with the Blues.
‘We thank Yahya for his efforts throughout his time in our Academy and wish him well as he begins a new chapter in his career.
AC Milan have also confirmed his arrival, and that he will be a player for the future, rather than their first team.
The Italian giants said: “AC Milan is pleased to announce the signing of Yahya Idrissi, who will be part of the Milan Futuro Project, dedicated to the growth and development of youth talents.
“The 2007-born midfielder joins the Rossoneri from Chelsea FC.”
