GdS: Uphill battle awaits as Milan prepare to begin talks with Raiola over Romagnoli

AC Milan are ready to formally open talks over the potential renewal of club captain Alessio Romagnoli, a report has claimed.

Today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) writes that a meeting will take place soon between the Milan management and Romagnoli’s agent Mino Raiola to see if there are the margins to extend his deal beyond the current deadline of June 2022.

The summit with the defender’s entourage will serve to understand if he can still have a future with the Rossoneri, who he joined all the way back in 2015 from Roma. Directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara will have to discuss with Raiola which will not exactly be easy given the war of words that has ensued in the media.

Romagnoli has lost his place in the first choice starting line-up to Fikayo Tomori, but is still racking up good minutes as Stefano Pioli continues to rotate.
