CM.it: Maldini and Massara ask for more power to renew – Lang case caused frustration

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have still not renewed their contracts at the club because they are awaiting guarantees, a report claims.

Calciomercato.it report that contacts between all parties are constant, and new owners RedBird Capital – led by Gerry Cardinale – are absolutely aware that it would be a bad sign to lose Maldini and Massara early in their ownership.

One of the issues that slows down the closing for the renewal is linked to the margins of autonomy. The directors want to operate on the market without having to wait for various approvals and without having to wait for financial bureaucracies that slow down operations.

Maldini and Massara would like to have the opportunity to move and seal deals at a pace they see fit, therefore asking for an increase in power, because they know speed is needed to seize certain openings.

The Noa Lang situation is an example as he was practically all secured by the Rossoneri but the difficulties in actually closing there operation led to discontent. With Lang – as with other targets – there is the feeling that repeated slowdowns can allow other clubs to swoop more decisively.

  1. What Maldini and Massara are asking for should absolutely be a given at this point considering we won the league under them

  2. How does Luka jovic go to fiorentina on load with real madrid retaining half his salary? Meanwhile milan have been trying to get him for three seasons. I would have happily taken him for a loan this season cause as much as people don’t like to admit we need a striker. I would like a striker 10/10 times over botman

    1. Luka Jovic has turned down Milan too many times in d past. If he was d only striker left in d world, I’d rather we use a false 9. Where he ends up is none of my biz, as long as it’s not Milan

  3. Exactly what I mentioned, Milan need to close deals right away or someone else will blow us out of the transfer by offering more.

  4. Maldini and Masara should be given what they are asking to close deals on time. That will help the coach to also plan his strategy for the upcoming season. We won the league under them so we are 100% sure they will always give the coach the right materials to work with. Lang,Renato,CDK and Bootman deals should have been closed by now.

  5. Maldini and Massara are right on that. Even if all the bureaucratic steps of the takeover are only to be completed by september, on a pratical level the board must act quick.

  6. They need more power
    GAzidis has power
    Shame. That chakel head Should go
    Don’t give up Maldini
    You always will be the best

  7. Luka Jovic has turned down Milan too many times in d past. If he was d only striker left in d world, I’d rather we use a false 9. Where he ends up is none of my biz, as long as it’s not Milan

  8. Redbird starting out wonderfully lol. Very disappointing to say the least. Wonder if those that were against Investcorp still feel the same way lol.
