Romano: Milan management tell squad they will ‘invest to remain competitive’

The new AC Milan management have spoken to the squad to outline the plan for the future and try to cool any concerns they may have.

It has been a real rollercoaster at Milan recently with the season-ending 3-1 win over Hellas Verona followed by the emotional retirement of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and then the sacking of both Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara.

There have been numerous reports suggested that the squad are anywhere ranging from shocked to angered by the decision to sack the two directors. La Repubblica have previously reported that the Milan squad didn’t take the news of Maldini’s exit well and even mentioned a ‘revolt’.

Fabrizio Romano gave an update regarding what is going on at Milan currently during a stream, with his comments relayed on Twitter.

“From what I have learned, Milan have made it clear to the players that the project has not changed and that they do not intend to sell anyone, but rather to invest to remain competitive,” he said.

“This was clear even to those most connected to Maldini, such as Leo, Tonali and Maignan. The Portuguese winger does not change his mind after the renewal, there are no market alarms for Maignan.

“For Kamada it depends on the timing. The player would like Milan, but there have been bureaucratic problems. There is a verbal pact with the Rossoneri. We’ll see if the player waits.

“Milan continue to appreciate Loftus-Cheek, who would like to join Milan but they must negotiate with Chelsea. As for Marcus Thuram instead PSG are ahead of everyone to bring him back to France on a free, the track with Milan is colder.”
