New clash Milan-Raiola for Romagnoli
New problem for the Rossoneri. Captain Alessio Romagnoli could be cut from Gazidis’ project because of his high salary.
While building up for next season, the Rossoneri will have to resolve another internal problem, which is far from easy to deal with. It’s about the future of AC Milan captain Alessio Romagnoli. Tuttosport reports that the defender can be cut from the new project.
The reason would be the severe wage cap that the CEO Ivan Gazidis intends to enforce. According to reports, Gazidis wants to limit the wages of Milan players to a maximum of €2.5 million net per season with very few exceptions.
A problem for Romagnoli, which currently earns 3.5 million per year. A million more than necessary, at least according to future restrictions imposed by Elliot and Gazidis.
If the captain does not agree to cut his salary, it could be hard to see him for a long time with the number 13 of Milan. A very complicated hypothesis, given that offers from foreign clubs are not lacking.
This promises a new clash between Milan and agent Mino Raiola, who in reality has been evaluating international offers for his client for some time. Romagnoli is tempted by several top clubs with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona reportedly interested in his services and ready to exploit the cracks in his relation with Milan.
The Rossoneri are with their backs to the wall. They will have to decide whether to exclude Alessio Romagnoli from this limitation or sell him in the summer (with a capital gain). AC Milan signed Romagnoli in 2015 for €25 million while today he is worth at least twice. Meanwhile Raiola is preparing to exploit another profitable situation for him.
