Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara were making moves to strengthen the team prior to their sacking, and they had a meeting planned over Domenico Berardi.

Tuttosport (via SpazioMilan) have a section in today’s paper titled: ‘Berardi was one step away from the Rossoneri’. They claim that Sassuolo winger could have been one of Milan’s new reinforcements, before the recent changes.
There was actually a meeting scheduled between the then-directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara for Tuesday, the day after their farewell, which is a sign that he was very much a concrete target.
The talks were obviously then cancelled and Berardi’s agent did not react well to Maldini’s departure from Milan, so the hypothesis has now vanished.
CEO Giorgio Furlani and chief scout Geoffrey Moncada have chosen Christian Pulisic to reinforce the attacking department. The Chelsea winger has a contract expiring in June 2024 and for this reason the cost of the operation should be affordable.
