Several discussions are taking place about different renewals for AC Milan players, and one of the players involved in talks with the club is Davide Calabria. However, a report has suggested that it will take a wage rise for this to happen.
Given the defensive issues this season, Calabria has been more susceptible to criticism, but the defensive crisis with injuries must be taken into account, and the right-back’s role in the dressing room will have likely been pivotal on several occasions for the squad.
With this in mind, and taking into account that his contract expires in 2025, talks have been expected to take place to ensure that Milan do not lose their captain for a nominal fee, or worse, for nothing. However, Daniele Longo (via FBWorldYouth on X) has reported that for an extension to take place, the captain would like his current €2 million per year salary to be doubled.
If this figure were to be agreed upon, it would see the Italian earn one of the highest wages in the club, and given he is in his prime, the Rossoneri must decide how long they would be willing to offer him at this price if they agree on a deal at that wage, especially given they are continually assessing the market for new players in the position.
