“It’s true we are coming off a good period of form, but there are very difficult games ahead, starting from tonight, so concentration is key. As it is an atypical season, the fitness levels will also be decisive,” Massara told Sky Sport Italia.
“We’ve got six games in 14 days, so we cannot waste energy on anything outside of the season.”
Massara was asked about Ibrahimovic’s chances of extending his stay, which by the Swede’s own comments seem frankly unlikely.
“We’ll see, the evaluation will be made with the player as well as the club. He is giving so much to this club, bringing mentality and quality. We’ll enjoy him as long as we can and relish his 100th Milan appearance.”
Gianluigi Donnarumma is also in contract renegotiations for an extension.
“We’ll talk to his agent and try to keep him here, as he is a key figure in the squad despite his tender age and we want him to remain a key figure in future.
“We’re confident Gigio wants to continue with us too, so there’s a good chance he will extend his contract.”
