MN: Some Milan players ‘guilty of abandoning the ship’ after having ‘contributed to sinking it’

The AC Milan management will take most of the blame for the 2024-25 season, but some players are hiding from their accountability too.

As MilanNews write, the leadership created a real sporting (and economic) disaster with the management of the contractual situations of Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan is beyond any doubt, and the last season was compromised by poor recruitment.

The discussions for the renewal of Theo have never really got going, while CEO Giorgio Furlani and co. never formalised the verbal agreement reached in February with Maignan, which is believed to have annoyed him.

Igli Tare and Massimiliano Allegri’s attempts to get the case back on track seem to be futile, with the French national team’s starting goalkeeper already having his head in the Premier League and in London, with Chelsea.

The Blues have not yet come close to matching the Rossoneri’s valuation of the player, but signals from various quarters suggest that the deal will be done at some point. Enzo Maresca’s team has set a very tight deadline due to the Club World Cup, so it won’t take long to know the final outcome.

Abandoning the ship

Having acknowledged this series of errors by the management, it is equally correct to launch into another type of reflection: the players did not provide a sufficient level of performance for long enough to finish above eighth place.

Playing at Milan this season must certainly have been difficult, but what was seen on the field was often disastrous. MilanNews also recall an incident where Maignan himself responded with ‘arrogance and haughtiness’ to a legitimate question from one of their journalists.

The question was: “Given that even with two different coaches the music doesn’t change and the season is disastrous, what do you need at Milanello?” His reply: “We need people like you who tell us what to do.”

All the alibis and excuses in the world can be found and many are even quite valid, but that the ‘key’ players have betrayed Milan often in times of need cannot go unnoticed. So, as the title says, ‘players are abandoning the ship after having contributed to sinking it’.

  1. Reading between the lines Mike was already gone in his mind way before now.

    Getting jerked around by management on the contract was enough for him to say screw this.

    I personally think Milan should’ve already sold him before this season but neither here nor there.

  2. in theory, the players should have to have some accountability for their performances, but how would they seeing as to how the management have none?

    Your results are only as good as your planning. Poor decisions across the board, no plan. Yet the players are supposed to carry what has become a joke of a club?

    I bet the environment around the club is borderline toxic. Tough to give your all in such an environment. Some of the blame should definitely be put on the players, but 80% of this is at the feet of Furlani & Co.

    1. Huge blame on the management. But these players are getting paid regardless of the management’s incompetence. There’s no reason not to be putting their all. I’m sure if players had shown up when they were needed most this season would have gone completely different.

      Players are hugely to blame to for their terrible attitude all season.

    2. Some 0f those stories with no solid proof seem more like a perfect fit to rase the blood levels of frustrated milan fans….

      Not to say management doesn’t have issues… but.. come on…

  3. Mike y theo recordar…. Horrores en liga y champions más una actuación estúpida!!! DE THEO en champions… Adiós a los mercenarios

  4. “All the alibis and excuses in the world can be found, and many are even quite valid, but that the ‘key’ players have betrayed Milan often in times of need cannot go unnoticed. So, as the title says, ‘players are abandoning the ship after having contributed to sinking it’.”

    Some of us have been saying this all season long.
    Ownership and management might not have built a team that could go far in the UCL or win the scudetto, but they definitely had a team and a coach that should at least finish top 4.
    People are looking for excuses for Theo hernandez.
    Oh, he is tired! Oh, he doesn’t have a backup!
    Theo started making problems during the 3rd game of the season. BTW, he didn’t start in game 1, and he was the worst player in game 2 vs. Parma, guilty for both Parma goals. He gets benched vs. Lazio, and then the circus starts.
    So, from 3 games ,he didn’t start 2 of them, but the reason for his bad behaviors was that he was tired? Sure thing.
    The reason was the same it is this summer. He wanted to leave last summer, but just like this summer, no one wanted him.
    All this nonsense about him wanting to stay at Milan and run out his contract is because he sees himself as a top player but top team don’t see him as that, that’s why they all stay away from him.
    Como and Al Hilal are the teams that want him, while he wants Real Madrid and Atletico, who don’t want him.
    Tell him that if he doesn’t accept a transfer this summer, he will not be playing much next season because Milan is signing a LB that will start. Let’s see how many teams will wanna sign him next summer after another bad season, especially during a World Cup year.

    I have zero problems with them abandoning the ship. It’s better for Milan that they abandon the ship now then to continue sinking next season too.

    1. I love you Z.
      And I almost completely agree with you.

      However, Theo is a top player contrary to what you said.
      But a top player with a bad attitude be treated like a cancer.
      Baloteli was a top player until his bad attitude turned him into a mediocre one.

      It was evident especially from Theo’s body language that he is the major cancer in the team.
      His talent is never in doubt, but these top clubs scout players extensively these days, and they must have known that his professionalism off the pitch would not be a good addition to their team.

      On a good day, Theo ranks amongst the best 3 left backs in the world. However, many top clubs want a left back in this transfer window, and non is looking for him.
      Because before the footballer comes the man, and in that regard, only a soft and lenient club like Milan can put up with such un professional behaviours.

      1. On a good day!
        I love that expression. Used when people are trying to hype up players who are not top.
        On a good day he is a top player.
        Top players are those who play on a top level almost every day, not just on a good day once in a blue moon.
        All these players that most of our fan base wants to call top are only top on a good day, that’s why the team is where it is.

        1. No, Z.
          I share your sentiments, but Theo is world class.
          You don’t go to Madrid by mistake.

          I can fault his attitude but I cannot fault his talent, but fortunately or not, in most cases, attitude beats talent, especially in sport.

          When pride hadn’t gotten into his head, he was a serious professional and could be in the conversation for the world best LB. However, since he felt bigger than the club, he began to regress drastically, I’m not surprised no top club wants him.

          1. “I share your sentiments, but Theo is world class.
            You don’t go to Madrid by mistake.”

            The same can be said about Barcelona as well, right? If so, I’ve got a name for you: Emerson Royal. 🙂

          2. You mentioned Barcelona well, right?
            I didn’t.

            Criticism should be done constructively and objectively while facing the fact.
            Hate meanwhile is just outright condemnation which can sometimes cloud one’s judgement.

            You don’t need to start an argument.

            I agreed with Z, which I presume he respected, and rightly so slightly disagreed on Theo’s ability which I also think he tried to make me see his reasoning without necessarily starting an argument.

            We mustn’t coarse others to agree with us you know, I mentioned Madrid for a reason just to buttress a point, that also doesn’t mean they don’t hit and miss as well. It’s his bragging right though. However, Theo doesn’t have to play for Madrid for me to take this stand about his ability, it is purely based on my judgement.

            You can say he’s not talented, that’s your opinion, but I know somewhere in there you know the truth.

            I criticise, I don’t hate. It would be nice if you learn this.
            Same goes for many conversations going on in this blog, people just make comments about the management purely from a place of hate, sometimes devoid of factual reasoning instead of putting up real criticism and apportioning blames where appropriate.

            It’s sickening.

          3. Wow. You really went off rails now didn’t you? Hate? Where’s the hate in my post? I don’t see it. Start an argument? What? Where?

            “You can say he’s not talented, that’s your opinion, ”
            Did I say that? Did Z say that? Nope. And nope.

            “I criticise, I don’t hate. It would be nice if you learn this.”
            When others criticize you say it’s hate. That’s two-faced action. I don’t hate anyone. Hate is a really strong word. “Despise” is closer to the correct word. 🙂

      2. If Theo,Maignan leave,you will all see Best and Well Discipline Rafael Leao this season. After all,No one knows Mike Maignan much,until he arrives at Ac milan. When Donnaruma, left,we Brought Mike. Same goes to Theo. Forza milan! Am tired of this up and down news on there Sales. Hakan left,kessie left,player cones and Go.I believe we are Winning 2925/2026 Serie A. I doubt if Christian Chivu( inter milan) Sarri ( Lazio) can disturb us this season

    2. It is false that top teams don’t want Theo. Atleti has just made an official offer for him, and while it’s lowballed due to his contract expiring so they figure that Milan’s incompetent management should be lowballed and will panic because otherwise he will leave for free on a free transfer next summer, the fact that they made an official offer does prove that they want him, and there is no doubt that Atletico Madrid is a top team.

      But I do agree with you that Theo is now a cancer and needs to go. I’ll be happy if we sell him for any money. I wish he would accept the Saudis because hey offered 35M.

      Maignan: in my opinion, overrated. Injury prone and very bad when opponents shot at the near post. He cost us many points this season. Last summer I already wanted him sold. Mike’s stats place him as the 30th goalkeeper in Serie A. There are MANY goalkeepers in Serie A better than him and cheap. I want him gone.

      1. Mike was left hanging a lot by our defenders. More often than not it was Theo give half effort. However you were spot on with Mike. Those low near post shots are his Kryptonite. By no means do I think Mike was a problem or issue for the season. He bailed out the team more often than not. And he is like an 11th player with his distribution and ball handling skills. Most keepers wouldn’t be able to handle what he has with the ball at his feet.

        1. At that rate they can put a player to be GK. If he is 30th by goalkeeping stats…first goalkeeping then the rest.

      2. Because Reijnders give 60-70 million that the club happily accept while the others pushing to leave cheaply on expiring contract.

    3. Perfect assessment. First of all Theo has the award for most falls in Serie A. Secondly, he has grown very little since his first two seasons. Lastly, Milan is where it’s at thanks to his “criminal” dive for penalty in the CL. If it wasn’t for that, 80% of the happenings at Milan now wouldn’t be there.

  5. Get Maignan out of our club too, no place for someone as overrated as him, he has also let us down with his brittle bones on multiple occasions, let him go rot on the bench at Chelsea, and to think these rubbishes wore the captains armband, then people wonder why we hate the French.

  6. It takes a clear head and a sound mind to actually think this through.

    Anyone who has actively played sports knows and could see through that these players deliberately wanted to sabotage the season and leave because some coaches dared to question status quo.
    I await the day Conceicao will grant a spill-all interview.

    Despite running on half engine capacity, we didn’t miss out on Europe qualification by much (points). They also deliberately gave up the Coppa final.

  7. So is Reinjders part of the set of players that’s “abandoning ship” or because he’s well liked we’re going to leave him out of the bunch?
    The whole season was a disaster. Only one player passed the eye test and was Tiki and the two wingers still put up decent numbers. The rest were blah. But let’s scapegoat the usual.

    Also “The discussions for the renewal of Theo have never really got going, while CEO Giorgio Furlani and co. never formalised the verbal agreement reached in February with Maignan, which is believed to have annoyed him.” Doesn’t this sound familiar? Directors have been rumoured to have been fired for similar. Are we going to do the same with the Weasel? Highly doubt.
    On the one hand you’d like to think it’s the players but the one thing that changed from last year to this year is the coach….that’s firmly on management! Bringing in a coach that has won less that these guys doesn’t make sense. You had to do better than Pioli and they didn’t….twice. and now they’ve hired slightly better than Fonz/Sarge… And people still wonder why you’d want to jump in the prime of your careers??

    1. So, the article is about players who contributed to the sinking of the ship now abandoning the ship, but this dude asks why is Reijnders left out of the bunch. Asks is it because he is well liked, while then he goes on to say this: “Only one player passed the eye test and was Tiki”.
      So is he just well liked or he was the only player that passed the eye test and wasn’t active participant in the sinking of the ship?
      Also, after the deal with ManCity was announced, didn’t you try to push the narrative that Milan forced Reijnders to leave while he wanted to stay?
      So was he forced to leave by the big bad Milan management, or did he abandon the ship?
      Flip flop.

    2. No, Reijnders is similar to Tonali, giving 70 millions that the club happily accept while the others pushing to leave cheaply on expiring contract.

  8. “The AC Milan management will take most of the blame for the 2024-25 season, but some players are hiding from their accountability too” – Practically word for word what I’ve been thinking these last few days.. Yes we all know management are clueless but it is strange how 3 out the 4 players who want to leave are our scudetto winning “superstars”… let’s face it, they checked out a long time ago, were part of the reason we didn’t qualify for CL and now want to bugger off for teams in the CL….

        1. And when you sign a 4M contract when you can get x2 or even x3? What is that asking for? There are 2 sides in a relationship. From what I read it still doesn’t mean what you said. He wants to stay this season but maybe leave next one…depending on the situation

          1. You sign a 4mil contract when Maldini calls on you and instead of getting loaned out right and left you want to prove something. You’re hungry. I don’t recall who else was after Theo in 19.

            I don’t know man. Nothing about his performances or effort even makes it seem that he wants to stay. Its fair to say this thing has run its course.

          2. But what are you talking about? Which loans? He signed the new contract in 2022, when he was best LB on the planet. Or top 3, whatever. You think he had 4.5M when he joined from Madrid? Not even close. He could have picked a club and 10M wage at that point, snd publicly said he wants only Milan. And now rats are after him. I hate rats.

  9. I’ve always believed that certain players should have been moved out a long time ago. What’s worse is that management failed to improve the team to make the squad competitive by not signing quality players and by not hiring a top coach.

    I will never forget Leao body language when he just met Fonseca. You could tell that he didn’t respect him.

    Players talk and agents talk and if the club is not doing the right thing to win trophies then players will become restless and want to leave except for players like Origi.

    This is all done to a lack of ambition and it has now affected the squad so much so that Pulisic is stalling on his contract extension. I don’t blame him.

  10. These reports of maignan threatening milan to sell now or he walks for free. If you don’t get what you want rot him on the bench for a year and see how he likes it. Make him play for the futuro in serie d actually. Who would of thought he would be like this. Some captain we have!

  11. I know this management has made it toxic but tare and allegri have been brought in and they are now running the show. So if players like maignan and theo are going tok cause a toxic atmosphere it’s best to get rid of them and start fresh with players who are hungry. The only thing right now is people like furlani and ibrahimovic better not over step and stay out of their way.

  12. We say that Leao , Theo, Mike etc was not playing with their hearts… All we know is what we see on the pitch and hear from the media.. its clear that when Maldini and Pioli went away, things got worst and worst after each getting sacked …
    Milan is above Berlusconi and above any funds or i individuals who will own Milan… If the owner do not understand this , Milan will always fail…

  13. “After an opening €15m offer from Chelsea was turned down, French newspaper L’Equipe claim that Maignan has set an ultimatum to Milan.

    He will join the Blues, either this summer for a paid fee, or next year as a free agent, meaning he has no intention of negotiating a new contract.”

    Who has the bigger threat bargaining chip here? My reply would be to that if you don’t sell what we want for you will rot all year which is a world cup year and you won’t get called up to France. Missing out on the world cup, not playing for a year at 30. Hell be forgotten next year if he wants to play hard ball. Make an example of these guys. People can say what they want about management but these players have to take responsibility for their actions. Your telling me we didn’t have a squad or coach fit enough for top 4 and we finished 8th? From preseason our ‘super stars’ were rotten and before they joined with the team fonseca actually had them playing excellent and when they all came they created problems straight away. I want what’s best for the club, not the players. Nobody is loyal to Milan on this team besides gabbia.

  14. Ok do what Napoli do. Put Maignan on bench next year dont let him play 1 game so next player will think twice before gave ultimatum to club.
    Same will do with Theo,not play 1game next year.I dont see some want Origi so same will be with this 2 punk.
    Leao i will sell him for 80m he not good and not worth more.For 30m we can find better player at his position.

    1. If we keep the player, we use the player. Doing otherwise is a terrible idea, if we have a perfectly good goalkeeper or left-back and we don’t play them just to make a point…

      No, if they stay, we say “OK, every good performance this year helps you negotiate with Chelsea, so let’s work together to get Milan back to top 4”

  15. They’ll be hoping nobody saw the France V Spain game the other night. They both looked absolutely washed!

  16. We all know that the management is garbage. But my anger with our fans is that they don’t want to hold these players accountable. They are employed to do a Job which is to secure the champions League position as their minimum target butt they failed and our fans and making excuses for them. Without been told, we had a very good squad but they didn’t gel. Even from outside you would see they’re (some players) sabotaging the club. I don’t mind building from beginning. Recruit players willing to die for this club

  17. Theo has been captain many times, and has played pretty much every game for the last 5 years with no real back up. He’s also played every game for France for the last 4ish years. He deserved top pay over 2 years ago. Remember when pioli was begging for a back up for Theo bc he feared Theo wouldn’t last another 3 years with that workload. He’s been disrespected by this club since Maldini left and he’s done his best to be available for the team. He obviously reached a breaking point, many of us can relate at a job that has taken a right turn. Either bought out by a bigger company or change in leadership and you know they’re waiting you out until you leave and you think F off I was here first before new menegment anyway not Elliott. He was the first to embrace the new project and was the start of young talent choosing milan over the other clubs and we built a scudetto winning team. I haven’t heard of anything he’s done that’s not at least equal to how badly he’s been treated but honestly problly a little less now that we know what ibra was doing in the locker room. Who would want to come to milan now with the atmosphere at the club and watching the fans point fingers at the players? At this point the club should be doing their best to smooth things over and help players find the best possible solution or place to go and save face. It’s like giving someone a refund it’s better to give up that money to stop them from bad mouthing the restaurant. Trying to force theo to a Saudi club is terrible. Milan used to get players bc their countrymen would talk so highly of man they would choose us over barca or madrid. We need that back.

    1. The water break incident and how he got that ridiculous red card vs Feyenord have nothing to do with him being over used. It’s all about attitude. All of us fans can accept high and low kind of performance. But attitude?

      1. You’re telling me your attitude is 100% perfect no matter how over-tired, over-worked, or under-appreciated you are? He’s still human. You’ve never yelled at someone in heavy traffic, or done nothing all day at work b/c you worked 60 hours the week before? This is what I’m talking about, he knew he was going to be out no matter what b/c of the salary cap and other changes in management. He was up against it with no one behind him. Pioli was the last person who truly represented the players and after that, they were all treated like commodities nothing more. Puli is even thinking about leaving and no one can say anything about his work rate but instead of trying to push through it b/c he loves this club, he’s considering his options (which I don’t blame him, he’s only been here 2 years and already going on his 4th coach which probably brings back ptsd from Chelsea). But I bet if things keep going like this, he’ll reach a breaking point too. So expecting these humans to separate their emotions from their work is ridiculous, yet fans demand the highest passion from the players but only the exact perfect version of passion that THEY prefer. Can’t have it both ways.

        1. There is a difference between an instant emotional response to something and what Théo is doing. The water break incident and talking to another player during an attack are pretty calm and calculated. He KNEW what he was doing and did it.
          He is the main culprit behind many of our losses this season not because of his play but his attitude, and he has done so under 2 different coaches throughout the season.
          No one is saying he (or anyone in particular) has no right to want to leave the club, but look at Pulišić.
          Pulišić was exemplary throughout the season, high workrate, a lot of defending, a lot of ground covered even when it was obvious he wasn’t in shape or was frustrated. He never let his disdain for the current situation influence his performances. If Théo was like Pulišić this season, he would be 100% right, and no one can blame him for wanting to leave, but he instead decided to act childish.

          1. Theo did that too like Puli two years ago in Pioli’s last year. He had every right to be super upset with the club and he asked them to fix that scenario during that year. As I remember, he said no to some offers including I think a return to Madrid. So again, an employee def gets up before work and says “you know what, I’m taking an easy today”. That’s still premeditated but doesn’t mean you’re thinking clearly. Someone’s judgment will be off when you feel misused, disrespected, and way over tired. Scared that your career will be over early and then what? Once you stop playing, you stop earning so it’s scary especially if you have a family and when you don’t feel like a club has your back, you’re going to lash out. Having been a boss myself in multiple situations, I’ve had to understand where an employee is coming from and meet them in the middle. Sometimes that means you agree to part ways but you don’t crucify him for it. Trying to force him out to a Saudi club he has no interest in is so wrong in so many ways. You guys want him to be some super hero, I guarantee that Puli will be in the same spot in a year or two if his work rate is still sky high with no support from the club. He’ll blow up on a ref or get a red card, same as Theo. The only reason he hasn’t reached that point, like I said earlier, is that he’s looking for a new club way earlier than Theo b/c he doesn’t have the same love for the club, probably b/c he also didn’t join at the peak of the environment at the club but towards the low. I’m not saying he’s 100% in the right but to think this is an isolated incident b/c of who Theo is as a person is nuts. That kind of perception will destroy this club, no one will want to join for anything more than a stepping stone. You want to guarantee Milan is a farm club? Keep treating the players like this. Remember when the Curva Sud were speaking to the team after that semi final loss to Inter? Who was right up there in the front listening intently with a very serious face? Theo. Who was there when selling Tonali shook the club? Theo. Who has saved us time and again in goals he had no business scoring? Theo. It’s sad to see fans go so black and white with this scenario, he has done sooooo much for us and to take a few instances and say he deserves to be tossed aside is wild. Again, who would want to come to this club under that atmosphere? Again, he should probably go, but the club needs to do it in the best way possible, not like this. It doesn’t show that they’ve learned from their mistakes or are willing to change.

        2. What I’m saying is that is more than just a tantrum. It’s always been in his character. As Milan fans we all know he always has this ‘unique’ act, but we’re really easy to forget and forgive because soon after he’ll make a great run / goal.

          If the over-used is the real problem, how can we don’t see the same thing for other players? Let’s not use Mbappe, Vinicius or Haaland as examples. Let’s see Kounde or Di Lorenzo, with more or less same position and same minutes on the field for the past 4-5 years. Have we ever seen them throwing a tantrum on the field?

          It’s so clear to see Theo has his head / heart somewhere else thru out this season. And please, please, don’t compare these privileged players with us the regular people. How many of us making millions a year doing things we love? It’s really not an apple to apple. Unless you’re also a highly paid athlete, then you can have a say on that.

  18. If you haven’t seen this team being sabotaged by someone throughout the season, then there’s no helping you. Maignan in the first and Theo in the second game against Feynord. A shameful game in Rotterdam that looked like it was fixed for the exact score of 1:0. Shots that barely reach the goalkeeper, etc., etc. Theo’s attitude in the game in Parma, then against Lazio, Fiorentina are all alarms. In addition to these two, I think that Leao is also a saboteur and we should get rid of him. Imagine you have a player whom you expect to solve an important match for you, and he is dragging himself around the field as if beaten. There comes a time when it has to change.

  19. I read some comments and cannot help but laugh? so the captain of a ship sets dynamite and blows a huge hole in the hull of a ship and go scot-free, but people watching from the shorelines are now blaming the ordinary seaman for jumping ship?
    If you remember the words of Galliani, maldini would not renew except he understood the ambitions for the club in the new season. He wanted to know how and if there were going to be squad improvements. it was not about the money. He wanted the IMPROVEMENTS on the scudetto winning squad and UCL semi’s and said so publicly. Instead he got fired on flimsy charges. Boban was fired for saying it publicly that the top brass were undermining them at work. They brainstorm for 2months and irend to hire a coach the fans break out in protests for? then they change their minds and hire someone worse than the previous coasch!

    They never denied clandestine, spy-like meetings with other coaches. They fired a coach through the media despite being seated less than 100m away from him during the match and do not have the guts to meet protesting fans who are fed up with poor performances week in, week out. They sneak in like little rascals and leave by the side entrance.

    Do you guys think these players are robots, blind, deaf & dumb? These players have families to feed, a future to plan and dependents too. They see first hand how the managers fired people who wanted the best for the club, sell off a guy they KNOW had the club at heart, and they hear their bosses say it was a good deal, too good to be passed over, hire a coach worse than their last winning coach. They realize they are just “deals”, “numbers” or “data”. so they put in the same effort the top brass are applying too.

    the result? the chaos we are obersing now!

    1. You touched me so much with this comment that I am still crying because of the difficult fate of the players.

    2. “maldini would not renew except he understood the ambitions for the club in the new season…”

      The ambition was simple: let Kessie, Donnarumma and Hakan leave for free.
      The club has money to effectively replace them, yeah that’s how top clubs do.

      All hail Maldini. A stellar career as a footballer equals to an automatic stellar career as a Director.
      Only in Italy.

      1. To let them leave free was a decision approved by Gazidis and Elliot, Maldini did not have any authority over the budget. You all know that but kept denying. So called Milan fans… keyboard warriors

        1. Are you that dumb?

          When a contract is expired, you do not need any approval to walk away.

          Where was the almighty Maldini’s charm in the contract negotiation that they didn’t renew.

          When Maldini was in charge, 3 of our best players left for free and hell was not let loose.
          But now, 3 of our players want to leave, and everyone is screaming at the top f their voices that this is happening because Maldini’s presence is not here.

          Y’all don’t balance the fact that it also happened with Maldini in charge.

    3. Exactly, some people will never see it. Look at Napoli compared to us. They have a passion for winning. They had that one really off year after winning the league and De Laurentiis left nothing to chance in going after Conte and spending the money from top selling players directly on new top players that Conte wanted not a bunch of what ifs that Conte had no interest in. He put his trust in Conte and it’s paying off b/c his goal is to win NOT to make profit. He makes profit in order to win there’s a huge difference between that and what our management values. Selling someone like Tiji who was loyal and happy to stay just for the profit is nuts. Napoli only sold Kvara b/c they had to given the circumstances but they immediately turned that money around and produced a fantastic group of players that were not there for the other scudetto. What are we doing with the profits from Tiji? Contacting Xhaka lol. The management are winning in playing mind games with the fans, they want us to blame the players as long as it keeps the heat off the office. Don’t lose sight, this Milan is up against it as long as this management team is in control. Theo, Mike, and Leao may be lost causes for Milan and have to leave, I’ve always maintained that, but they are casualties of this management not the initiators.

  20. To much words, guys. Attitude, is their main problem.
    So thank you and bon voyage.
    The same for Leao.
    In England or Germany they will have to work hard for their 💰
    Life goes on !!
