AC Milan
On 31 August 2021, it was announced that Adli had signed for Serie A giants AC Milan on a five-year contract. The fee paid to Bordeaux was a reported €8 million. He was loaned back to the club for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.In his first season at Milan, Adli had very little playtime and made just six sporadic appearances throughout the entire season, all of which were as a substitute in the closing minutes of games.
Despite these setbacks, however, he did not go to play elsewhere on loan, neither during the winter break, nor in the summer.
Ahead of the 2023–24 season, as Milan's primary formation changed from 4–2–3–1 to 4–3–3, Adli started to play in front of the team's defense as a holding midfielder or a deep-lying playmaker, providing an alternative to Rade Krunić, who had been considered a starter in this position at the time. However, as Krunić departed in the winter, Adli took his place in the starting XI.
