SO SAD: Rafael Leao may never play again at San Siro because Pioli does not value him.
Theo Hernandez, Rafael Leao, and Mike Maignan have all been linked with major clubs in recent months and are regarded as AC Milan‘s stars. Demetrio Albertini, a club legend, has claimed that he plans to sell one of them.
Just this morning, Gazzetta dello Sport outlined that Bayern Munich are keeping tabs on Hernandez and Maignan, while PSG are following Leao closely. In short, one or two offers could arrive in the summer and Milan are willing to listen (albeit only to very high offers).
Speaking to the pink newspaper (see photo below), the former Milan midfielder Demetrio Albertini was asked about the future of the trio. He stated that he would sell one of them as it could fund the summer mercato, as happened after the sale of Sandro Tonali.
“I’d sell one.” What Milan did with Tonali last summer was the perfect decision, especially for a team looking to strengthen while keeping its finances in line. How would I decide? First and foremost, I would speak with the players to determine who truly wants to stay and support the endeavor.
“Then, I would also factor in the charisma of the three players inside the locker room. The first is more important than the second, because what do you do with a leader who doesn’t believe in the project?”, he stated.
Milan’s priority is and has always been to renew the contracts of Hernandez and Maignan, having renewed Leao last summer. However, there is no doubt that offers close to €100m could change their minds, especially for the goalkeeper as the renewal talks are complicated.
