AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini has revealed that he tried to sign Lionel Messi.
Maldini was the Serie A team’s technical director until he was sacked at the end of last season.
He now claims that he tried to bring Messi in when he leaves Barcelona as a free agent in 2021.
“For 10 days we tried to bring Messi to Milan, but we realized that it was impossible.”
“It’s too late now, but a player like Messi is spectacular for everyone.
“When I read that he might go to Inter, I got scared,” Maldini said on the Polettocast show.
Messi eventually joined Paris Saint-Germain on a two-year deal, but now plays for Inter Miami in MLS.
