Last season was one of two halves for Maldini, who decided to cut his loan at Empoli short due to a lack of playing time and immediately signed for Monza on a six-month loan instead.
After joining Raffaele Palladino’s side, he has bagged four goals and one assist, with a few of those being important goals. He rediscovered confidence, and thus became in-demand in view of the summer.
Di Marzio reports that after his six-month loan at the U-Power Stadium, Daniel Maldini is ready to return to Monza and this time on a permanent basis rather than just another loan move.
The 22-year-old has a contract that is set to expire with Milan and he will not renew it, meaning that he will move to the Brianzoli on a free transfer and the Rossoneri will not receive a transfer fee.
It is a move that is likely to cause a stir among Milan supporters, not only because they hoped for a Maldini to succeed with the first team but also because an academy product will leave without any recompense.
