AC Milan captain Alessio Romagnoli wants to stay at the club and renew his contract, according to a report.
The future of Romagnoli is uncertain despite his rank as club captain, having lost his spot in the starting line-up to loanee Fikayo Tomori and with just a year left on his contract, leading to a crossroads regarding whether his six-year tenure with the Rossoneri will continue.
As explained by Tuttosport (via MilanLive), Romagnoli’s desire is to stay at Milan and his intent is to try and take back his spot in the starting XI. Moreover, with so many matches on the calendar next season he knows that there would be space for him.
Without a renewal of his contract, a stay at Milan is unthinkable as Maldini and Massara do not want a case similar to that of Donnarumma, so he must either extend in the coming weeks or he will be sold.
It will not be easy to find an agreement though, because his agent Mino Raiola wants a pay rise from the current €3.5m net per season his client earns.

I already imagine Raiola talking about style to Maldini as he did last here in regards to Ibrahimovic renewal while at the same time planning how to stab him in the back…he is the best
year 😂
If he really intends to fight for his place in the team, this is such a fantastic news, as we dont have to find a new defender and HOPE that he gels with the team etc.
Of course, he needs to come to agreement as soon as possible. I sincerely hope that there will be deadline and once passed, decisions have to be made, so we won’t see a repeat of Gigio v.2.0
How come having a pay rise when u r not playing this is bullshit, we must sell him now or he will leave for free at the end.
