Calabria opens up on Milan exit: “I didn’t want to have anything to do with certain people”

It is almost a year since Davide Calabria left AC Milan, and he has spoken out about his exit and his new adventure in Greece.

Calabria’s long journey at Milan came to an end earlier this year, with his contract expiring in the summer. The choice not to renew him was made, and he spent the second half of the season on loan at Bologna, who did not end up signing him permanently.

Given that he is a boyhood Milanista it was a bit of a painful exit for the Italian, in addition to the fact that one of the final moments of note was a spat with Sergio Conceicao on the field. After a lot of speculation about where he might end up, Calabria joined Panathinaikos in the Greek Super League.

Calabria gave an interview to Rivista Undici where he discussed the reasons that led him to leave the Rossoneri, as well as the importance of receiving constant psychological support, with his comments relayed by Radio Rossonera.

Regarding his experience in Greece, he stated: “It’s something new, very different from what I was used to. Sometimes I’m very positive, other times I struggle a bit. Overall, I’m satisfied.”

On leaving Milan, Calabria added: “As a fan, playing for AC Milan was my dream, and I achieved it. I have no regrets. There were some things that hurt a little, and I think I was the one who suffered the most. It was never my intention to leave.

“I didn’t want to have anything to do with certain people anymore. Sartori had been looking for me since the beginning, and he told my agent: ‘If he ever has a fight with the manager, know that we’re here for you.’ Two days later at San Siro, what we all saw happened.”
