Not only Ibrahimovic. The Milan in the coming weeks will make a decision on the players due at the end of the season. Inside or outside, there are six situations to be resolved by Maldini and Massara, who must make ends meet and take into account the personal ambitions and competitiveness of the team, which next year will be built to take one more step. From the goalkeeper to the striker, passing from the thorny cases Kessie and Romagnoli, here are all the cases and updates:
ANTONIO MIRANTE – Having arrived in the current season after Maignan’s injury, the former Roma goalkeeper will end his adventure on 30 June. Behind the French and Tatarusanu, expiring in 2023, there is the will to raise a young man.
ALESSIO ROMAGNOLI – The AC Milan captain has been offered a lower contract renewal, about half of what he currently earns, 6 million euros net. At the moment the agreement is far away, Lazio is on the defender.
ALESSANDRO FLORENZI – Milan are satisfied with the second part of the season of the right winger, but the time has not yet come to make a decision on the redemption, for which an investment of 4.5 million is required. Maldini could ask the Roma for a discounta, but it cannot be ruled out that alternatives to the blue national team will be evaluated (Mazraoui has been proposed, expiring with Ajax),
FRANCK KESSIE – The percentages of an Ivorian prolongation are very low. The best offer on the table to his entourage is from Aston Villa, but the former Atalanta prefers Barcelona, with which there is a standing negotiation.
JUNIOR MESSIAS – A start with the handbrake on, then a growth that led him to be a holder of Pioli. Costing 2.6 million of onerous loan, to redeem it from Crotone they need 5.4 million. Also in this case it cannot be excluded that Milan, faced with the desire to keep him in the Rossoneri, may ask for a discount.
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC – Maldini was clear, he will decide and it will never be a problem. If he wants to continue, as he has implied in recent interviews, he will have to sit around a table and discuss his employment of him. For obvious physical reasons it will have to settle for being a resource, not a priority of the attack.
