Clarity above all. In recent days, Milan have communicated both directly to the players concerned and through the media a list of players who are no longer part of the club’s technical project, excluding them from training with the first-team squad and leaving them out of matchday squads. It is a clear communication strategy deliberately chosen by the Rossoneri club and its owner.
Why Milan have taken a hard line
The objective of Gerry Cardinale and Ruben Amorim, the decision-maker and executor respectively, is to make their position clear to everyone, leaving no room for excuses for either the players or their agents. Fikayo Tomori, Youssouf Fofana, Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez are not part of the project and must therefore find new clubs. Another signal? The squad numbers left vacant in the list submitted to Lega Serie A.
Gerry Cardinale has taken control of the situation
The way the situation is being handled is a new development at Milan and is the result of Gerry Cardinale’s direct involvement in the club’s affairs. After years of operating remotely, the owner has decided to take matters into his own hands and become personally involved, aware that the work carried out so far has been insufficient. It is an admission of responsibility, much like the one facing the players who have been pushed out of the Milan project: there is simply no longer any room for them.
