Paolo Maldini, in his lengthy interview to those at La Repubblica, spoke about the mercato and whether he had the final say in bringing a player over to Milanello or not.
Here are his statements:
"It's far from the truth that Massara and I didn’t share objectives and strategies. I never had, nor wanted, signing power: not even for loans. Every purchase was approved by the CEO and ownership. We chose the players; sometimes the budget disappeared. Interference in sporting decisions, affecting financial balance, is normal. It's unjust to accuse us of not sharing. Many meetings were needed for Ibrahimovic."
