AC Milan lock in American goalkeeper Sally Ann Rainey until 2029

AC Milan have secured American goalkeeper Sally Ann Rainey on a contract that runs until 30 June 2029, tying the 21‑year‑old to the Rossonere through the 2028‑29 Serie A season and now immediately giving the club a long‑term safety net between the posts.

Facing a shortage of experienced options between the posts, AC Milan turned to the United States and signed Rainey to address the gap.

The official club statement confirms the deal expires on 30 June 2029, effectively covering the entire 2028‑29 campaign and ensuring continuity in the goalkeeper position.

Rainey will now represent the Rossonere in Serie A, adding depth to the goalkeeping roster and providing a reliable backup with the potential to become a future starter as the club seeks greater defensive stability.

Born in 2002, the 21‑year‑old honed her skills at an American college, amassing numerous appearances and earning individual honours that attracted attention from European clubs.

Those accolades paved the way for her move to Italy, as European scouts noted her development and the transition marked a step up from collegiate football to the top tier of Italian competition.

Before joining AC Milan, Rainey spent the previous season with ŽFK Crvena Zvezda in Serbia, gaining valuable senior match experience that equipped her for a Serie A environment.

The club confirmed she will wear the number 24 shirt for the upcoming season, a number traditionally allocated to emerging talents, underscoring the belief in her potential.
