07 September at 16:35 AC Milan sporting director Paolo Maldini is reportedly pushing for the contract renewal of Giacomo Bonaventura. The Italian attacking midfielder has been injured for the rossoneri for a majority of the last two seasons. Marco Giampaolo's system has seen Milan use Suso behind the strikers, as continue to lack a proper number ten for a 4-3-1-2 shape. Tuttosport claim that with Bonaventura set for a return, he is expected to play a key role for the side. And Maldini knows that. So does Zvonomir Boban. They want to prioritise Bonaventura signing a new deal and have already offered a new deal, which could guarantee a stay at the rossoneri beyond the summer of 2020.
