Calciomercato.com report that Maldini and Massara need to solve six situations between now and June and they will make their decisions based on building the most competitive squad for Pioli inside the parameters they have available.
Antonio Miranta: He arrived during the current season after the injury to Mike Maignan as emergency option, but the former Roma goalkeeper will leave in June. Milan’s plan is to have a young keeper grow behind Maignan and Tatarusanu.
Alessio Romagnoli: The Milan captain was offered a contract renewal at about half of what he currently earns (€6m net) and at the moment an agreement is not close, with Lazio in pursuit.
Alessandro Florenzi: Milan are satisfied with the second half of the season that he is having but have not yet decided on whether they will exercise the €4.5m option to buy. They could ask for a discount, but there are tempting alternatives like Mazraoui of Ajax, who would be a free transfer.
Franck Kessie: The chances of Kessie staying are very low and the best offer on the table to his entourage is from Aston Villa, but the Ivorian wants to Barcelona, with whom there is an ongoing negotiation.
Junior Messias: The winger cost €2.6 in paid loan and to buy him from Crotone the Rossoneri would need to pay an extra €5.4m. Like Florenzi, it cannot be excluded that if they decide to keep the Brazilian they will ask for a discount.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Paolo Maldini has made it clear that if Ibrahimovic wants to keep playing, then a discussion will be held. For obvious reasons the Swede would have to settle for a lesser role.
