AC Milan could sign a replacement domestically if they are forced to sell Rafael Leao in the coming months, according to a report.
According to Il Messaggero (via MilanLive) – the well-known Roman newspaper – Paolo Maldini has a strong interest in Nicolò Zaniolo. His contract with Roma expires in June 2024 and to date there is no sign of renewal, so the Rossoneri technical director continues to follow the situation closely.

Roma’s demands have previously ended any chances of a move prematurely, but everything could change if Milan were forced to sell Leao should he not extend his contract before next summer.
Milan would be forced to cash in on the winger and could then divert the funds they receive towards another forward, such as Zaniolo. A lot depends on whether he will renew with Roma or not in the next few months, while Juventus are also keen.
NO!
Is our management intentionally searching for injury prone players?

Zaniolo is not the Leao replacement. I would like Zaniolo here but not for his crazy price tag as he’s not worth 60m. The replacement for Leao IMO is Mudryk. We could likely get both Mudryk and Zaniolo with the Leao money and play Zaniolo at AM (his best position) or even RW and have Mudryk at LW. But as a direct replacement no Zaniolo is not the guy
Mudryk no chance, Shaktar rejects literally every bid for him. 40M, 60M, they want I think something close to 70M and we won’t even get that probably in the summer. No chance for Mudryk, it will probably be a Doku or someone like that and money for a rw. But I expect him to leave on a free
There’s definitely a chance for Mudryk
Mudryk and Doku is way better, Maldini, had lost it, those who think maldini can do no wrong is in denial, look at the botch transfers at a relatively cheap price.
Mudryk + Zaniolo money = Leao money? Are you out of your mind?
They didn’t sell Mudryk for 60m € for Arsenal.
Nobody is going to pay leao more than 70 m knowing that he has contract expiring.
Dude you don’t have common sense lmao
Yeah right… Replace a “+10 goals + 10 assists per season”-guy with a “1 goal + 1 assist per season”-guy and call it a day, eh?
LOL. Buying Zaniolo and playing him as a LW would actually make our RW look awesome! 😀
Buying Zaniolo would be worse than just throwing money into a fire. He’ll be injured 90% of the time and then start problems on the bench impacting the team chemistry.
I hope this is a joke or a diversion.
Probably a plot to increase the price so Juve (or whoever “gets” to buy him) will pay pay massive overprice for his glassy body parts.
This is worse than a bad joke
