Two days ago, Davide Calabria lifted the Supercoppa Italiana trophy to the sky in the Riyadh night as club captain. However, it has not changed his future.
After beating Juventus in the semi-final, the Rossoneri also got the better of Inter and in that match there was also the contribution of the captain, who came on in the second half in place of Emerson Royal.
He gave more than just a token substitute appearance too, given that he had a hand in the winning moment by feeding Christian Pulisic, whose pass to Rafael Leao then turned into the assist for Tammy Abraham’s 93rd-minute goal.
Upon returning to Italy, Calabria told reporters: “I had already won the Supercoppa, but lifting it is something more. It’s been my dream since I was a child, doing it with this shirt is something exceptional and incredible.
“What’s different from winning the Scudetto? They were both beautiful victories in reality, but this one is different also because at 2-0 it wasn’t a given… We put all our heart on the pitch, in reality we were sure we could play a great game and we did it.”
However, the joy of a newly won trophy does not change the scenario regarding his future at the moment. TMW recall that Calabria’s contract is expiring and with Milan there has never even been any talk of a contract renewal.
The full-back is still expected to leave when his contract expires on a free transfer. He will not depart before that though, despite some interest from clubs in a January move.
You have to love Calabria. He’s given his heart and soul to Milan. I see coaching in his future.
Mistreating Calabria does not make Emerson a better player. In fact the two choices for RB are BOTH abysmal.
yup, if we can get rid of Royal Blunder, I would keep Captain as a sub and go for actual Brazilian RB, Vanderson.
But most likely it will be –
RB: new RB, Emerson, Terracciano
LB: Theo, Jimenez
How the club can even consider letting Calabria leave on a free is beyond me.
I agree 100%! This is sheer madness! Calabria is giocatore di maglia, so why on earth is he being let go? Let the Club show some gratitude towards those who have always given their heart for the club.
In my opinion Conceição should evaluate if he is needed and if he can see a short or long Future in him than he should be given a contract extension. He is just 28Y. Let’s STOP giving our Players for FREE. Let’s not make the Same Mistakes like with other Captains or Future Captains. Keith 🇲🇹
Madness from the management but again i don’t expect much from Cardinale puppets like Ibra, Furlani, and Moncada.
Pure madness, Calabrian deserves better, he should be our starter.
calabria should be a starter not that other clown royal i feel bad for davide hasnt gotten the respect and loves the club it would be better if we sign a new contract get rid of the dead weight (royal) and buy vanderson
Calabria’s time is up. That’s not even up for debate. A huge Thank You to him for sticking around this club through the banter era and out of it. Hopefully the Scudetto and SuperCoppa are nice parting gifts.
RW position still needs to be addressed. There’s absolutely NO way Conceicao will be OK with the current crop available to him.
Would love to see as ACTUAL upgrade in this position either in the winter or summer window.
Calabria is uselesss
not as useless as royal
Our hopeless management just loves giving away our team leaders for free, don’t they??? Clown ownership
Did Calabria tackle Zlatan’s son in the trainings or why will he be allowed to leave for free?
