CM: Why Daniel Maldini’s departure was not a ‘final goodbye’ for Milan

Daniel Maldini left AC Milan in the summer mercato, and there were some questions at the time. With the youngster impressing for Monza, and earning a call-up to the Italian National Team, the question has been reopened.

Cesare, Paolo, Daniel – the Maldini name is synonymous with Milan, and it can be argued that for this reason, the youngster had to leave. Playing for the Rossoneri adds pressure to any player’s shoulders, let alone the shoulders of a 23-year-old.

Now, just a short distance away, the midfielder is blossoming, and he is writing his own words in the Maldini story. However, there is a possibility that he will return to add more to a previous chapter.

This morning, Calciomercato.com stated that ‘the Milan fan’ faces a conflict. A joy of seeing their former players perform well, but a sorrow in the fact that they no longer do so in the Rossoneri shirt. For Maldini, though, there is a route back.

There is a ‘preferential channel’ with the Biancorossi – the Diavolo have a ‘priority clause’ if the midfielder is approached by another club. Alongside this, there remains the 50% sell-on clause.

The report also states that Maldini is attracting interest from several clubs, and among them is Juventus – we also know that Inter have been keeping tabs on his situation.

    1. Why? Where in this team does Brazilian flair come in? We aren’t struggling in attack.
      We need solidity in the back. And we already have a Brazilian flair there. The useless royal..
      We need more solidity and grinta in the midfield. Brazilian flair, again, is utterly useless for that..

      1. Not to mention that Madueke is an English Nigerian who was bought for 35 last year and who regularly plays with success for Chelsea and recently got his international debut. No way we would buy him or at least not for what Chelsea would demand.

  1. Its pointless. Milan didn’t gave him game time to develop when he needed it. While in the meantime they were playing Loftus for 40+ games while he was terrible in 99% in them. I would have rather watched young milanista struggle in those games and developing rather then some 27year old who couldn’t care less. Same situation with Origi/Colombo. This club prefer high paid trash players over their own youth simply cause of stupid diversity.

  2. This club hasn’t been relaying on our youth system for over 15 years. Probably over 20.
    Why would they start now? Because his last name was Maldini?

    Whining heir isn’t completely wrong when he posts extensive lists of players we let go and are flourishing elsewhere..
    It’s a waste.
    I always wanted us to develop and play our talents. We never do.

  3. we have maldini here and liberali coming up but there is d rumour we want an argentine kid worth 40mil who is 18.we will still not be able to give him necessary patience and chances then ship him out on loan and then sell to where he will flourish and we go back to same circle.our youth system is becoming useless i wonder why they are even buying players into it if we wont give them chance.well to sell them on though

  4. I hope he goes to Inter or Juve and has the type of success he deserves. Milan deserve what they get and unfortunately so do the fans. At least I got to see a Scudetto recently thanks to Maldini and Massara!
