Celtic have signed midfielder Massimo Donati from AC Milan.

The 26-year-old midfielder moves to Glasgow in a deal worth around £3 million.

"He is a player of real quality" - Celtic spokesperson

Donati becomes Gordon Strachan's fourth signing of the summer, joining Motherwell's Scott Brown and Hibernian strikers Scott McDonald and Chris Killen.

Donati began his career at Atalanta but moved to AC Milan six years ago for £10 million.

He has since been on loan at Parma, Torino and Sampdoria and he was a regular in the Atalanta team last season.

A Celtic spokesperson said: "We are delighted that Massimo has signed for the club. He is a player of real quality and we're sure he will be a great addition to our squad."
