Italian outlet Calciomercato has reported that AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini has turned down the club’s invitation to attend the 125th anniversary celebrations ahead of Sunday’s clash with Genoa.

    This week, the ‘Red and Blacks’ will celebrate the 125th anniversary of the club’s official founding on December 13, 1899, with ยูฟ่าเบท the team planning to bring in a number of club legends, including Alessandro Costacurta, Roberto Donadoni, Frank Rijkaard, Clarence Seedorf and more, as well as wearing special retro shirts.

    However, Maldini, a legendary figure who made more than 900 appearances for the club over three decades, will not be at the event, having declined the invitation.

    Eight years after hanging up his boots, Maldini returned to San Siro as sporting director before moving up to the position of technical director, playing a key role in helping the team win the Scudetto in the 2021/22 season, but ultimately ended his time with the club on bad terms, with the pair parting ways in the summer of 2023.
