Daniel Maldini, the 22-year-old son of AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini, is set to make a permanent move to Monza, marking the end of the Maldini family’s legacy with the Rossoneri, at least for now. The deal, which has been finalized in recent days, sees the young attacking midfielder return to the club where he impressed during a loan spell last season.
TMW confirm that Adriano Galliani, Monza’s CEO, has successfully negotiated the transfer with Milan. The agreement represents a significant moment for both clubs and the player, as it concludes Daniel’s time with the Rossoneri, where his family name has been synonymous with success for decades.
The financial details of the transfer have been disclosed, revealing a strategic approach by both clubs. The deal is structured as a permanent transfer with a minimal fixed fee paid to AC Milan. However, the Rossoneri have secured a substantial 50% sell-on clause, potentially benefiting from any future transfer of the youngster.
This arrangement demonstrates a forward-thinking approach by AC Milan, focusing on potential future gains rather than immediate financial return. It also provides Monza with the opportunity to acquire a promising young talent without a significant upfront investment.
For Maldini, this move represents a chance to establish himself away from the shadow of his family name at AC Milan. His successful loan spell at Monza last season suggests that the club could be the ideal environment for him to continue his development and showcase his abilities.
