As AC Milan begins a new cycle, Zlatan Ibrahimović announces that three important players will stay at the club.
It’s official, Paulo Fonseca to coach AC Milan next season, news that delighted many fans of the club. After weeks of rumors, it is on the Italian side that the Portuguese tactician will be on the bench. Fonseca had a very good season with LOSC. Fourth in Ligue 1 and quarter-finalists of the Conference League, the Mastiffs can thank their former coach for last season.
This is now a new challenge for the Portuguese coach. Arriving at AC Milan, Fonseca will have quality players in his squad. Especially since Zlatan Ibrahimović, club manager, announces that Mike Maignan, Theo Hernández and Rafael Leão will stay at AC Milan this summer. The arrival of new players will not require selling executives and Fonseca should be able to count on them next season.
A new cycle
The arrival of Fonseca sounds like fresh air for the Italian club. After winning Serie A in 2022, AC Milan have struggled over the past two years to establish themselves as leaders of the Italian league. The club’s objective is to return to the forefront in Italy, but also on the European scene. Qualified for the new edition of the Champions League, AC Milan wants to rediscover the taste of the final stages. For the second most successful team in the Champions League, this should only be a formality.
Zlatan’s statement will resonate in many clubs. Indeed, Hernández, Leo And Maignan were the subject of transfer rumors. For Hernandez, he was the target of Bayern Munich to replace Davies in the event of his departure. For Leão, the Portuguese was on the shelves of Paris Saint-Germain. The case of Mike Maignan is different. The French goalkeeper is currently in negotiations for a new contract. Due to salary demands that are a little too high and repeated injuries, theNegotiations were no longer a priority for Milanese leaders. However, Zlatan Ibrahimović has confidence in his players. He is counting on them next season to once again write AC Milan history.
