Has Maldini ever said that we'd get a contract renewal done like he has for Theo, Bennacer, and Leao?
Maldini's comments on Pobega are great:
"We know the value of our history and our boys, he’s undoubtedly a player who is proving that he can be with us, but we already knew this last year. He was still missing a little piece and this is getting better with the games, we couldn’t promise him as much playing time as he’s getting at Torino. He is our boy and we hold him tight."
I think we have our Kessie replacement in Pobega. The kid has looked special with Torino.
Pretty crazy that we have Pobega and Adli waiting in the wings. We will lose Kessie almost certainly, and Romagnoli is probably 50-50, but that will complete the end of the banter, fodder, and Fassobelli eras.
What Maldini and Elliott have done with Milan is beautiful. Hopefully, we will renew the contracts Maldini mentioned earlier, and I’m confident that we will because he is building the type of culture and atmosphere that existed when he played for Milan.
Leao, Bennacer, Tonali, Calabria, Pobega, Adli, Theo, Tomori, Maignan, Sael, and on and on. I’m thrilled with the core we have for the future… there will definitely be growing pains, but I love the team we have and I’m thoroughly enjoying the process even with bumps along the way like we experienced in November and December.
Just keep building as we have and adding fuel to the fire. Eventually, this team will grow into Scudetto winners and European contenders.
