Maldini: “We tried to bring Messi to Milan for 10 days”
Paolo Maldini revealed during his appearance on a podcast that for ten days – when he was sporting director at Milan – he tried to bring Lionel Messi into the Rossoneri.
Lionel Messi decided to leave Paris and move to the other side of the Atlantic, choosing Inter Miami, but the scenario could have been different and he would have stayed in Europe and at a very high level.
This is what would happen if Milan’s dream of making him their own came true, with Paolo Maldini revealing as a guest on Giacomo Poretti’s podcast that he had tried the Grosso trick with Pulga as sporting director at the Rossoneri.
“For ten days we tried to bring Messi to Milan, but then we realized it was impossible. It’s too late now, but a player like Messi is a spectacle for everyone. When I read that he could go to Inter, I was scared.” said the Milanese legend, among others.
