AC Milan terminates Muntari's contract

AC Milan have terminated the contract of midfielder Sulley Muntari.

Muntari  spent three seasons at AC Milan after moving from Inter Milan, where he won the Champions League in 2011.

Muntari fell out of favour under Filippo Inzaghi last season, appearing for Milan only six times in 2015, and new coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has deemed him surplus to requirements ahead of 2015-16.

"Sulley Muntari and AC Milan announce that they have mutually resolved to terminate the sporting contract that bound them,” the Italian club stated on Tuesday.

“AC Milan would like to thank Muntari for the commitment, devotion and professionalism he demonstrated when wearing the Milan shirt.

“We wish him every success for the rest of his playing career.”
