As reported by the daily Turin-based daily newspaper, Tuttosport, Milan must be very cautious about Domenico Berardi tomorrow.
In fact, Milan is the Italian winger's favourite victim, with no fewer than 11 goals scored against the Rossoneri, three of which came at San Siro.
His name has often been linked with the top clubs in our league, from Juventus to Fiorentina, and especially Milan.
What if Paolo Maldini had remained in charge of AC Milan's technical area?
If Maldini had remained in charge in the summer of 2023, he likely would have invested in Berardi, as the player was Pioli’s top choice to strengthen the offensive right flank, as explained by Tuttosport.
Instead, Maldini was dismissed from his duties by RedBird, and Milan opted to replace Junior Messias and Alexis Saelemaekers by investing in Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze. Now, it remains to be seen what Berardi will decide to do in January: stay at Sassuolo and aim for promotion back to Serie A with his current club, which is a strong favourite, or finally, after years of interest, be tempted by those now pursuing him, primarily Atalanta and Roma? Not to mention some interest from abroad.
We’ll see. For now, tomorrow Berardi will return to San Siro, a friendly stadium, to try—why not?—to play yet another trick on the Rossoneri.
What are Berardi's numbers so far this season?
In Serie B, the player in question, who is 30 years old, has scored one goal and provided 7 assists to his teammates in 7 matches played in total.
