The AC Milan-Raiola tug-of-war continues: from three renewals to signings, a very delicate balancing act | First page

Voltage. There is no better word to describe the current relationship between AC Milan and Mino Raiola. The tug of war for the renewal of Gigio Donnarumma becomes more and more intense: contacts are constant but the parts still too far away. The club puts on the plate a five-year 8 million bonus included, the Italian-Dutch prosecutor asks for the renewal for a year – maximum two – to 10 million. Too many for Milan, which with the passing of the days sees increasing anxiety about a possible farewell to zero of its most crystalline talent.

QUESTION OF BALANCES – A situation in the balance, a story that brings to mind the summer of 2017. Very high level of tension, a very hard clash with Mirabelli and announcement of the non-renewal, only to back off and sign the extension. The contexts are not, for different reasons, comparable: the ownership has changed, the management has undergone revolutions and also in the field, with the exploits of the last year and a half, there has been a marked improvement. Yet the push-and-spring continues and the Maldini-Massara duo will have to be good at hitting the right strings. Because the Donnarumma case is only one chapter of the book – without end – that involves Mino Raiola, a very powerful agent with multiple tentacles.

ALL BUSINESS IN DANCE – One is what it leads to Alessio Romagnoli, another player whose contract expires. Not immediate, but in 15 months, in June 2022. The dialogues have already started, Raiola’s request is for a adjustment with respect to the current 3.5 million with the insertion of a termination clause. But Milan’s position is clear: the goal is to confirm the current salary, without exceeding the salary cap set at 4 million euros. Second tentacle is what it leads to Zlatan Ibrahimovic: it is true that the Swede, Raiola said:, is a separate case and that the renewal is ever closer, but the signature has not yet arrived and Milan intend to insert some clauses related to the presence of the center forward. Not only the renewals: Milan studies and plans the future, also throwing an eye on the Netherlands. Here they play Donyell Malen e Myron Boadu, respectively strikers of Psv and AZ Alkmaar, assisted by Mino Raiola and Rossoneri baby-goals. A delicate game of balance and to be handled with care. For the future of Donnarumma but not only …
