CM: Surprise renewal possible for Florenzi – why he is deemed important | OneFootball

Alessandro Florenzi’s worth has not been felt this season on the pitch, as it has in recent years, but there is a chance that the Italian earns an extension with AC Milan.

RedBird and the whole project at Milan is now centred around finding talent in the early stages of their career, and whilst the club would like to purchase the ‘bigger’ players so to speak, there are not the means to do so, as was revealed earlier this season.

However, for young players to develop, there needs to be experience in the dressing room, and Florenzi is a perfect example of this, as recent times have shown.

Calciomercato.com write that the defender has not been able to prove himself on the pitch this season, but history can show us the importance that he has had on this team in recent years.

During the Scudetto season, he was amongst the protagonists, proving useful on and off the pitch, and whilst a serious injury has halted chances of that this season, he has still been a big figure in the dressing room, travelling with the squad regularly.

Unfortunately, that will not be enough to secure a renewal though, and the report states that whilst these traits are appreciated, the defender must display his desire on the pitch, and show that he can still be a player, rather than just a motivator – €3 million salary must also be decreased.
