Milan sign Acerbi and Constant, Seedorf exits

Milan: AC Milan have agreed to sign Chievo defender Francesco Acerbi and Genoa's Guinea midfielder Kevin Constant, the Serie A club said in a statement, but midfielder Clarence Seedorf is leaving after 10 years with the Rossoneri.

Milan, who lost their Italian league title to Juventus in May, are swelling their ranks having let several older players leave including Gennaro Gattuso, Alessandro Nesta, Filippo Inzaghi, Gianluca Zambrotta and Mark van Bommel.

Dutchman Seedorf, who triumphed in the 2003 and 2007 Champions League finals with Milan to notch up four winners' medals, has joined the band of departures but did not reveal where he is going amid reports he will join Brazil's Botafogo.
