Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani says letting Andrea Pirlo leave was ‘my biggest mistake’, and talks about transfer targets.
Galliani was one of the members of the Rossoneri hierarchy deemed most responsible for Pirlo’s departure to Juventus on a free transfer in 2011, but claimed it wasn't his fault alone.
“The biggest mistake that I made on the market was to let Pirlo leave, although it was an error shared with others. Don’t ask me who,” the 71-year-old told Gazzetta dello Sport.
