Samuel Chukwueze scored Milan’s equalizer against Borussia Dortmund in midweek, but the team conceded two more goals and lost 3-1.
Former Milan central defender and technical director Paolo Maldini has criticized Milan’s board, calling last summer’s transfer a waste of money, Soccernet.ng reports. .
Maldini, 56, wore the Rossoneri jersey for 30 years before rejoining the club in 2018, where he spent his entire football career as technical director.
During his time as sporting director, Milan showed glimpses of their glory days, becoming regulars in the UEFA Champions League and winning the Scudetto in 2022.
Surprisingly, Milan sacked Maldini a year later, causing a stir in the football world after the impeccable development the club experienced with him as technical director.
In an exclusive conversation with Repubblica, the Milan legend explains what has happened to the club’s hierarchy, adding that Samuel Chukwueze, Luka Jovic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek , explained the summer transfer that saw Noah Okafor join the club. , it’s a waste of money.
“I laughed a little when I heard a story on this topic. We didn’t have to mess with the algorithm to get Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic, Chukwueze, we didn’t have to sign them. “You can’t compare the last four transfer windows with the last one. We fought in the market with different weapons,” said the five-time Champions League winner.
Considering the price, the quality of the transfer in the window angered Maldini. Chukwueze moved from Villarreal to Milan in July for €30 million after scoring 13 goals and providing 11 assists for the Yellow Submarines last season.
Since joining the club, Chukwueze has mainly played as second fiddle to former Chelsea player Christian Pulisic and has only found the back of the net once.
