Speaking to La 7 Gold, Maldini said that he has still much to offer for AC Milan, and if there is anything he can do – they should know that he’s ready. The former centre-back/left-back said:

“I gave plenty and received a lot and I feel so much love for the Milan colours. It goes beyond the people who work there.”

“If there is the chance to do something positive that will help this team then I will always be there. My life has always been without other roles on the side, and I want to continue like that.

“The team have great pride and they are capable of always giving a moment of important emotions.”

Milan started the season bad, but things are different now, as Milan have recently extended their unbeaten title to seven games, following the Champions League draw against Real Madrid.

“We are going through a good period because the team has found consistency in the Champions League and in Serie A. They know how to play football,” added Maldini.

“The Champions League? I think Barcelona are the strongest team, but my friend [Carlo] Ancelotti’s Chelsea are well equipped.”

Will Maldini return as a director at Milan or these are only rumors – the time is the only one to tell…
