Mediaset: Maldini would like his powers to increase before committing to renewal

Paolo Maldini would like more powers before renewing his contract with AC Milan and his signature has not yet arrived, a report claims.

Claudio Raimondi told SportMediaset (via MilanNews) that the renewals of Maldini and Ricky Massara are not done despite what other reports are claiming and there is no confirmation regarding an announcement being imminent, perhaps even today.

Instead, Raimondi states that there are voices suggesting Maldini has an aspiration for an extension of his duties, perhaps as CEO if Ivan Gazidis were to leave, but at the moment it appears that he will remain as the technical director.

The timing of the news is doubly interesting given that the current deals of the two directors expire tomorrow which would mean they are no longer officially Milan employees, while there have also been multiple reports suggesting Gazidis could leave when his current contract expires this coming November.
