Enzo Raiola, the players' agent interviewed by Corriere dello Sport, he talked about Milan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alessio Romagnoli, and Ismael Bennacer. Here are the statements from the well-known agent:
Enzo Raiola said:
"Romagnoli, Donnarumma, and Bonaventura were not understood by Milan, let's put it that way. Alessio was held back by pubalgia (muscle injury), won the title as captain, but the then directors weren’t very enthusiastic about continuing. There was an offer, presented just for the sake of it. The desire to move forward was missing; we didn't perceive it. The signing with Lazio? The climax was the meeting with Lotito at Villa San Sebastiano. After much talk, Romagnoli decided to accept the president's message. In the future, we'll see how things go. He's very happy at Lazio; there are many situations to evaluate."
On Alessio Romagnoli's future:
"The president took a stand. Romagnoli came from an important career situation, even financially. At Lazio, he accepted Lotito's conditions, the maximum he could offer, with a promise: to sit down and complete the path. They were promises linked to certain steps that Lazio had to take. The Champions League, qualification for the knockout rounds. Lotito expressed ambitions tied to the club's growth: staying in the Champions League circle and the dream of the title. Two out of three have been fulfilled. Stay for life? We have to meet again with the president; I'm sure he'll keep his promises. In football, we can't make plans. But in Rome, everyone sees it, Romagnoli is shining again."
On Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ismael Bennacer, Enzo Raiola said:
"Bennacer returned after a knee cartilage procedure. They said he would return after 8-10 months. Impressive, he's already done it. What's in Ibrahimovic's future? He keeps telling me, 'I need to reflect and decide well'."
