It’s been a hectic day from an AC Milan point of view. Not that anything special has happened, but more details on the corporate situation have emerged amid the lack of renewals for Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara.
This was all sparked by the reported interest of Paris Saint-Germain in Milan target Renato Sanches (read more here), which seemed a done deal for the Rossoneri. The club ownership has stalled everything, which is indeed alarming.
As stated by Mediaset journalist Ale Franchetti, Maldini and Massara have done a tremendous job on the market at Milan. If it had been up to them, the likes of Origi, Botman and Sanches would’ve been announced by now. They moved early and secured the deals, but if these cannot be closed then others must be asked.
By others, of course, the journalist means the higher-ups in the club. This hypothesis was confirmed by SportFace editor-in-chief Alessandro Nizegorodcew, stating that the duo has always operated very well. The same goes for Zvone Boban when he was at the club.
The problem, however, has always been that ‘too many heads’ are needed to decide everything in the club. As a result of this, several operations have broken down at the last minute over the years, similarly to that of Sanches.
Most likely, this is something Maldini is pushing to change in the talks and that’s why the renewals are delayed. The renewals, in fact, cannot be guaranteed at the time being.
