L’Equipe: Maldini left to regret signing of Chelsea man as midfielder shines at Napoli | OneFootball

AC Milan director Paolo Maldini has been left with regret regarding a midfield target that ended up joining rivals Napoli, a report claims.

According to L’Equipe in France (via MilanLive), Milan were strongly interested in signing André Zambo Anguissa who is having a truly sensational start to the season with Napoli, as he has been a big part of the team that has won all three Champions League group stage games so far and is top of Serie A.

The source reports that Paolo Maldini became interested in the midfielder when he was still owned by Fulham, therefore in the summer of 2021. There were enquiries and then follow-up meetings with his entourage, but Milan made no official bid.

Then, Napoli pounced with a loan offer of €0.6m and the option to buy set at €16m. The Rossoneri then went back to Tiemoue Bakayoko and they re-signed him on loan from Chelsea, which unfortunately did not give the same success as Anguissa is giving Napoli.
