Incumbent European champions A.C. Milan officially confirmed my signing on August 2, 2007. The transfer fee paid amounts to the minimum fee clause in my contract with SC Internacional for ¤22 million. My debut was a dream come true for me, scoring his first AC Milan goal at the San Siro.
Due to Italian football regulations regarding non-EU minors, I was unable to play official matches for Milan until January 3, 2008, when the Italian transfer window and registration reopened. However, AC Milan was allowed to include the player in friendlies and training beginning September 3, 2007, one day after my 18th birthday. I made my non-competitive début in a 2–2 draw against Dynamo Kiev on September 7, 2007 and scored a header. As of January 4, 2008, my transfer to Milan became official.
I scored my first Milan goal in his Serie A début against S.S.C. Napoli in a 5–2 home victory on January 13, 2008. I scored my first brace for Milan in a 2–0 victory over Genoa C.F.C. in San Siro on January 27, 2008.
