As the weeks tick by without any news regarding a renewal, the chances of seeing Davide Calabria’s time with AC Milan coming to an end increase.
According to what is being reported by PianetaMilan, Calabria is ‘most likely in his last season with the Rossoneri’ as his contract expires on 30 June 2025. For the moment, the Rossoneri management have ‘no intention of renewing it’ as things stand at present.
The injuries that have affected Calabria have allowed Emerson Royal – who arrived in the summer from Tottenham – to become the starter. Filippo Terracciano, who is currently being used as Theo Hernandez’s assistant, could return to his more natural right side to be his deputy.
Several teams are following Calabria and, among these, there are two Italian clubs: Lazio and Bologna. Abroad it is Galatasaray who remain keen after the summer links, while in France it is Marseille and Monaco who are following the right-back.
The report adds that one or more of the interested clubs could try to buy him as early as January, a situation that would allow Milan to cash in if an offer between €2-3m came in, rather than losing the academy graduate on a free transfer at the end of the season.
But, But, But, he was adequate on the scudetto winning team 3 years ago, so he should start for life for this club. Pocketed Kvara (not true), and Mbappe (not true). Blah Blah Blah.
Thought I would save Maldini’s Heir some time.
😂
Milan have a long tradition of letting their captains walk away on a free. Everyone but Calabria realizes he’s gone in the summer. They will throw a nice departure ceremony the last home game and all.
The management always failed to “upgrade” Calabria since he started playing. Tried Conti for 24M€, didn’t work. Tried Florenzi, didn’t work (although I liked Florenzi). Tried Kalulu, ended up relying more on him as a CB. Tried Terracciano, didn’t work and tried Jimenez, didn’t work.
So now they came with a genius idea: NOT upgrading him and selling him anyways.
the problem is that we have emerson who is worse than him we need a upgrade
And what is worse, we spent 18M€ on a RB that isn’t good enough even to be a backup.
They need to justify waste of money on Emerson. I mean it’s not all negative with him. He’s really helping Pulisic and Fofana improve defensively since they are doing his job on that flank.
Another masterclass from our wunderscout Moncada.
Let the season play out before you judge Emerson. There may be some redemption especially since you set the bar on him so low.
He’s the one who should be low last night but was AGAIN caught too high last night when the pass for their goal came from his side.
The pass from his side didn’t cause the goal. It was the second pass to the right side where nobody was because both Tomori and Theo were out of position and marking the sane man while leaving the goal scorer wide open.
You should watch again the action that started with a through pass from Emerson’s “should be” position. That led to the pass inside the box to their right side. We’ve conceded 70% of goals that way this season. No defensive coverage from Emerson. Ever. We have Pulisic and Fofana tracking players down that flank all the way into our box when Emerson is looking for himself up on that right wing.
Who cares how it started. Passes get crossed in all the time. Point is it the original pass was covered, and if Tomori and Theo were where they should have been instead of both marking the same man the goal wouldn’t have happened. You go watch it again and tell me that Theo wasn’t marking the same man as Tomori instead of being on the left side where the goal came from. I’ll wait.
We will always have blind spots in team. Only in case of every year reaching champions league semi finals, Milan can have strong player on each position.
Calabria was OK player for couple.of years, but eventually he dropped in form.
Saving money from contract extension of players like Florenzi Calabria Ballo Toure can mean some perspective new player in arrival.
Such a relief, I can’t believe this team still has Italian players. Gross. Cash in for the huge 2-3M€ capital gain and bring Dest back, he could compete with Royal as the worst Milan right back ever.
Cash in on what? Calabria will leave on a free in the summer most likely.
Read til the end bro
Doesn’t make any sense. Beginning or end. LOL!!!
Big error, we need him for the lists and Emerson isn’t even much better, albeit with different strengths.
He even beat Dalot out of a starting spot.
Calabria is a good player. I could be wrong, but I think he unfairly carries the weight of just being a constant reminder of Milan no longer being what it was – with Tassotti, Cafu or even a makeshift Billy Costacurta in that spot.
Id try to renew him. But its also fair to say it sucks we haven’t been able to find someone better.
That was a huge mistake. We should have tried to keep Dalot. He is a far superior RB.
Dalot was better in the games that he played as a LB. Also he was a dry loan and Manchester Utd didn’t want to give him up.
Same with Kalulu.
Milan already have terraciano, Alex Jimenez and bartesaghi with cheap salary, so good idea to let Calabria go.
Terracciano is a catastrophy, Jimenez can’t defend to save his life and Bartesaghi is a CB/LB deputy.
This is dumb yes Calabria has not been solid the last two seasons but to buy Emerson and then sell Calabria essentially means we’re now in the market again for maybe 2 rb, Emerson failed at a lesser team in spurs I don’t see him being the shining beacon they think he is unless they do some hectic psychology on him the way Gattuso did bakayoko many many years ago
