Reports: Florenzi exit a ‘concrete’ possibility as Champions League side initiate contact

There is a concrete possibility that Alessandro Florenzi could leave AC Milan this summer with a club having already expressed interest, a report claims.

According to Corriere dello Sport (via Radio Rossonera), the first contacts have taken place between the Bologna management and Florenzi. The Rossoblù are looking for a profile like his to increase the level of European experience in view of the next participation in the Champions League.

Sartori and the other leaders at Bologna admire the Italian for his experience, quality and flexibility. Milan’s request in terms of transfer fee should be low too because of his age (33), and they could even let him go for nothing one year before his contract expires.

Evaluations are in progress and much will also depend on the opinion of the new coach Vincenzo Italiano. Florenzi arrived on loan from Roma in 2021 and was bought permanently the following season, signing a contract until 2025.

Meanwhile, Alessandro Jacobone has suggested similar on social media: “After the preview last January, the possibility of the departure of Florenzi is becoming more and more concrete.

“The departure of the full-back would further damage the % of experience and leadership present in the dressing room, it will therefore be necessary to fill this void with profiles capable of doing so.”

Another factor to consider is that Paulo Fonseca is expected to become the new head coach, and the pair did not exactly see eye to eye at Roma.
