AC Milan's Manuel Locatelli has completed a loan move to Sassuolo, who have an obligation to purchase the midfielder.
Locatelli burst on to the scene as a teenager with a wondergoal in a 1-0 Serie A defeat of Juventus in October 2016.
But the 20-year-old started only five league games in the 2017-18 season and has been allowed to leave by coach Gennaro Gattuso.
Sassuolo are reported to have paid €2 million (£1.8m/$2.3m) to loan Locatelli, while the permanent deal to be completed next year is said to be worth €12m (£10.7m/$13.6m).
Milan confirmed the deal on their official website, praising the midfielder's work during his time at the Giuseppe Meazza: "AC Milan wishes Manuel the best of luck in his future sporting career, thanking him for his professionalism and commitment to the club.
