Stefano Pioli counts on Fikayo Tomori and Simon Kjaer usually in his starting lineup because their partnership proves to be strong and reliable.
Alessio Romagnoli, on the other hand, has been relegated to sitting on the bench since the arrival of the former Chelsea defender.
The team captain, since then, has played less games than usual, but he is still on Pioli's vision because he represents a solid backup option. The Rossonero number 13, represented by Mino Raiola, has a contract running until June 2022.
The negotiation for a possible renewal between the parties seem complciated due to the player currently earning a yearly wage of 5 million euros net per season. For their part, Milan management do not want to extend the contract at such a high figure and have communicated to the former Roma and Sampdoria player to reduce his salary by at least a couple of millions.
According to what is reported by Corriere della Sera (relayed by Milanpress), there is Juventus in the background who enjoy a good relationship with super agent Mino Raiola. They may attempt to sign Romagnoli once his contract expires.
