Cerci will not have a similar presentation in Milan, although he could make his debut in front of his new fans at home on Tuesday when Sassuolo are the guests for the Rossoneri's first Serie A fixture of 2015.

At the weekend, Cerci will return to face his former club Torino as the club look to improve upon their seventh place in the table.
