There is no doubting that the rearguard became Milan’s strength during the Scudetto run-in last season as the Rossoneri kept nine clean sheets in their final 11 league games, with just two goals conceded in that stretch.
This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) dedicates a feature to Milan’s defence titled: “From Maignan to Theo: now the defense is worth over 200 million.”
The paper outlines how the back line have grown a lot over the past couple of seasons under the guidance of head coach Stefano Pioli and is now worth over €200m in total.
They believe that Mike Maignan is worth about €45m, Pierre Kalulu around €30m, Davide Calabria the same, Fikayo Tomori at least €50m and Theo Hernandez €60m. To Milan, however, they are a priceless unit.
