The relationship between Milan and Mino Raiola has hit a new low, with reports claiming the Rossoneri are not involving the agent in talks for Alessio Romagnoli’s extension.
The Milan captain sees his contract expire at the end of the season, but according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the player’s representative has not been involved in the negotiations for his client’s extension.
The relationship between Raiola and Milan has become tense since last season when Raiola refused a new contract for his client Gigio Donnarumma.
The 22-year-old, a product of the club’s academy, left the club at the end of his contract in June, joining PSG as a free agent.
Milan fans blamed both Donnarumma and his agent and when the PSG star was booed during Italy’s Nations League semi-final last month, Raiola hit out at the Rossoneri.
“I am disgusted about the boos to Donnarumma and I ask myself why Milan didn’t intervene in some way,” the agent told Il Corriere dello Sport.
“Has he killed somebody? I don’t think so. The truth is that Milan didn’t have the strength to keep him, but it doesn’t make the difference.
“Ask, anybody, ask a dad. What would he suggest to his son? Join PSG or stay at Milan?”
It remains to be seen whether or not Milan will eventually call Raiola to negotiate Romagnoli’s extension and what will happen with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, given that his deal at San Siro also expires at the end of the season.
Milan released a statement this afternoon insisting they have a “professional” rapport with all agents.
