Kevin Zeroli joins Sudtirol as AC Milan midfielder begins Serie B loan

Italy-Nigeria midfielder Kevin Zeroli has joined Sudtirol from Milan Futuro on loan, completing a move that will keep him with the Serie B club until 30 June 2027.

The 21-year-old central midfielder becomes a Sudtirol player after returning to Milan Futuro at the end of last season. His agreement with the club runs through the end of the 2026-27 campaign, with the transfer formally completed on 1 September 2026.

Zeroli came through AC Milan’s youth system before moving into the club’s senior structure. He joined Milan Futuro from Milan’s under-20 side in July 2024, having previously progressed through the club’s under-17 and under-19 teams.

His latest move follows two loan spells during the 2025-26 season. Zeroli spent the first half of that campaign with Milan Futuro before joining Juve Stabia in January, returning to Milan Futuro when that temporary move ended in June.

He also had a loan spell with Monza in the second half of the 2024-25 season, after moving away from AC Milan’s first team. During that period, he was part of an AC Milan squad that won the Italian Super Cup in the 2024-25 season.

Zeroli, who was born in Busto Arsizio, is eligible to represent both Italy and Nigeria and stands 1.87 metres tall. He is right-footed and operates primarily in central midfield.

The move takes him into Serie B with Sudtirol, while Milan retain his registration beyond the loan’s scheduled conclusion. The upcoming transfer arrangement records his return to Milan Futuro on 30 June 2027.

Sudtirol have therefore added Zeroli to their midfield options on a loan deal running for the 2026-27 season.
