Sky: Daniel Maldini expected to leave Milan on loan with option to buy plus buy-back

Daniel Maldini is closing in on sealing his exit from AC Milan as he is expected to join Hellas Verona on an initial loan deal, a report claims.

According to the latest from Gianluca Di Marzio on Sky (via MilanNews), Hellas Verona are closing in on the signing of Daniel Maldini and a completed deal between the two clubs is in the pipeline.

Di Marzio even added that the formula on which the two parties are working is an initial season long loan deal with an option to buy in favour of the Gialloblu and then a buy-back in favour of Milan.

Maldini made 13 appearances for the Rossoneri last season but ultimately was never in line to be a regular starter despite Brahim Diaz’s struggles, with Franck Kessie and Rade Krunic preferred in the No.10 role. The return of Yacine Adli from loan and the potential signing of a player like Charles De Ketelaere may further reduce his playing time, and as such a decision has been reached.
