Alessio Romagnoli is destined to leave AC Milan this summer as his contract will expire at midnight. A move to Lazio beckons and with that in mind, it’s the perfect timing to take a look at the captain’s respectable spell at Milan.
Romagnoli joined Milan in 2015 from Roma, costing the Rossoneri a fee of around €25m. It was a significant investment from the club back then and the defender didn’t exactly disappoint, always acting with the utmost professionalism.
As highlighted by MilanNews, Milan were a rather mediocre team at the start of Romagnoli’s adventure but he was always the bright spot. He was able to defend his starting spot until the arrival of Fikayo Tomori, really, when the bar was raised a lot.
He never complained, however, about the move to the bench and continued to give his everything as the captain of the club. He never said anything bad and always did his best when he was called upon, which is what you want from a player.
After seven years, Romagnoli made a total of 247 appearances for Milan and found the back of the net ten times. He also got two trophies in the process, the Supercoppa in 2016 and the Scudetto this past season.
Now, a move to Lazio awaits and Romagnoli can look back at his Milan adventure with great pride. In addition to good performances, he also showed great character and now he will hand over the armband to Davide Calabria.
