Davide Calabria wants to return to AC Milan after just a few months in Greece, but there is something holding his wishes back.
Calabria has spent most of his life at Milan. In total the defender spent 18 years with his boyhood club before leaving on loan for Bologna and then signing as a free agent for Panathinaikos in the Greek Super League in the summer.
The full-back recently gave his side of the story on why his exit took place, and now it seems that he is longing for a return to his home country.
Calabria wants second spell
Today’s edition of Il Giornale (via MilanNews) features the following headline: ‘Calabria, longing for AC Milan. But his closeness to Maldini…’
The newspaper explains that Calabria misses Serie A and for this reason he wants to leave Panathinaikos to return to Italy. Complicating the matter, however, is his €2m net per season salary which most clubs do not want to pay.
Il Giornale then adds that a player like Calabria could have been useful to Massimiliano Allegri on the right flank in place of the disappointing Zachary Athekame, but ‘a déjà vu with the Rossoneri is unlikely’.
It’s been rumours that the former Milan captain ‘was too close to Paolo Maldini’ compared to the current management and ownership, and that is why they are unlikely to consider his candidacy.
