French midfielder starlet Yoann Gourcuff has left Milan to sign for Bordeaux, the Ligue 1 side have announced.
Gourcuff arrived at Milan in 2007 from Rennes and was touted as the new Zinedine Zidane.
The talented playmaker didn't have many chances to prove himself and was sent out on loan to Bordeaux.
As part of the agreement, Bordeaux were given the right to make the deal permanent for £15m.
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani admitted that he hoped the French outfit wouldn't take that option, but it has been confirmed that Gourcuff is now 100 per cent a Bordeaux player.
Gourcuff has signed a four-year deal and will try and build his career in his homeland.
“I am very happy to continue my adventure that I started with the Girondins,” he enthused.
“I had been thinking about this decision all season and we have created an agreement that suits all parties.
“I would like to thank the directors on both sides for allowing this transfer and I am ready to accept this new challenge.”
