Monaco have completed the signing of Pietro Pellegri from Genoa for a fee of £17.5m.
The 16-year-old Italy youth international had been widely linked to a move to Juventus, Arsenal and Manchester United by newspaper reports.
Monaco announced the deal less than 24 hours after Southampton completed the signing of Guido Carrillo on a three-and-a-half-year deal from the Ligue 1 side.
Speaking to Monaco's official website, he said: "I am very pleased to join AS Monaco. I was quickly convinced by the project which helps young players like me to be able to grow and flourish in the future.
"I'll work hard to become a major player in the club."
Pellegri had made seven appearances for Genoa this season, scoring two goals.
