Official: Milan loan Daniel Maldini to Monza after cutting Empoli spell short

AC Milan have officially loaned Daniel Maldini to fellow Serie A side Monza, cutting his loan spell at Empoli short after a poor start to the season. 

As has been announced by AC Milan on the official website, the loan at Empoli has been terminated ahead of time as it did not seem to be a good fit for the player.

He has made seven appearances in Serie A so far this season, failing to ever spend the full 90 minutes on the pitch. Son of club legend Paolo Maldini, the winger had to deal with injury issues in the first few weeks of his time at Empoli.

Rather than play a role for Milan, he will now be loaned to Monza for the rest of the season, a club that the Rossoneri have a close relationship with.

Maldini is a product of Milan’s youth academy and made his debut at 18 years old in 2020. He also played in the Champions League against Liverpool and got his first Serie A goal in September 2021.

He spent last season on loan at Spezia where he scored three goals in 20 appearances, and will now try to help Raffaele Palladino’s side get into the top half of the table.
