The gap in management and sporting structure at Milan has increased the risk of departures among the squad's key players. It is emphasized that the club lacks not only a structure to manage transfers but also a sporting and financial system to guide the overall direction.
This situation has raised questions especially regarding the team's star players. The possibility that Maignan, Modric, Rabiot, and Leao could all leave the club within the same summer is being discussed.
Departure Scenario for Leao
The likelihood of departure is most clearly seen on the Rafael Leao front. It is assessed that the Portuguese player's time at Milan has come to an end and that a separation might be the best option for both parties.
Leao has become one of Milan's most important players in recent years. Having scored 80 goals and provided 65 assists in nearly three hundred matches, it is noted that he would leave a particularly hard-to-fill gap on the left wing.
Juventus Possibility for Maignan
Goalkeeper Mike Maignan's situation remains in the spotlight despite his contract extension. Although he recently signed a contract until 2031, it is reported that Juventus has shown renewed interest in the player for some time.
For now, this is considered a possible scenario. However, if the institutional uncertainty at Milan continues, losing a key figure like Maignan, who holds significant influence in the locker room, could be a much greater loss for the club.
Modric at a Decision Point
The situation with Luka Modric stands at a different point. It is expressed that the Croatian player is seen not only for his contributions on the field but also as a source of trust for the club.
While Modric has not yet made a decision about the next season, optimism is reported to be weakening due to the current situation. The weakening of the sporting project and uncertainty within the technical staff and management complicate the decision-making process.
Rabiot’s Choice Linked to Allegri
On the Adrien Rabiot front, a different reason comes to the fore. It is written that the French player primarily chose Milan to work again with Massimiliano Allegri, and if this connection weakens, his desire to stay might also be questioned.
Although Rabiot's contract runs until 2028, the question of how meaningful it is to keep an unwilling player in the team remains. Therefore, his situation is not considered independently of the club's overall crisis.
The Decision Now Lies with Club Management
Potential departures at Milan could affect not only squad planning but the entire future design of the club. Losing four major players in the same summer is seen as a reflection of the void in management and technical structure impacting the field.
It is emphasized that club owner Gerry Cardinale must use his business experience to find a solution that reverses this situation. Otherwise, Milan could face a summer where the management crisis directly turns into a squad upheaval.
