Daniel Maldini is just one step away from joining Monza, according to the latest reports. This time, however, it will not be a loan – which was the case last season – as the attacking midfielder will leave AC Milan on a permanent basis.
The 22-year-old spent the second half of the 2023-24 campaign on loan at Monza and impressed with four goals. Adriano Galliani immediately flagged his interest in keeping the 22-year-old permanently and it seems an agreement has now been reached.
According to Sky Italia this evening, the negotiations are in the final stages as Maldini ‘will’ join Monza on a permanent basis. Nothing was said about the transfer fee, but since the player’s contract will expire next year, it’s believed that it could be around €5m or so.
Maldini impressed in the friendly against Rapid Wien last weekend and most were expecting to see the Italian during the pre-season tour in the US as well. He even travelled with the team earlier today but will have to make a swift return to Italy, by the looks of it.
Milan will surely reinvest the money on the mercato, but the fans are getting a bit frustrated amid the lack of signings so far.
