Alessio Romagnoli, who has been the starting centre-back next to his teammate Simon Kjaer, has been sitting on the bench since the arrival of Fikayo Tomori. The English centre-back has indeed won the faith and trust of coach Stefano Pioli as well as his staff, the club management and the fans.
Now, this raises the question of Romagnoli. What his future looks like? According to what is reported by Calciomercato.com, the Italian international will be leaving during this coming mercato summer: one year before the contract expiry deadline.
Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara made their choice based on sporting and economic reasons. The player has not played much recently and does not convince fully anymore. For Pioli now, Tomori and Kjaer are the starters to rely on while the Italian is the third choice.
The Rossoneri managers did not submit an offer to the player's agent who happens to be Mino Raiola, not even an offer with the same salary which is now 3.5 million euros. Offers coming for Romagnoli will be heard by the club.
In the coming weeks, there will be more updates and a solution that should please all involved parties because Alessio does not want to sit on the bench; he wants to play as a starter again, as per the source.
