‘End of the Scudetto protagonists’ – Costacurta makes feelings known to Milan star trio | OneFootball

Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez have been the two big boys for AC Milan in recent years, but this season, they have been anything but that.

This season has been a nightmare barring the occasional dream-ish result: the Bernabeu, the Supercoppa, the win against Inter at San Siro. However, the reasoning is much more difficult to identify.

Unfortunately, the issue is not solely down to coaching, or recruitment or players. Instead, it is a dangerous culmination of each factor, and now Milan are left in peril, needing yet another summer rebuild. Again though, due to the aforementioned issues, there is little to no faith in the relevant parties to get things right.

For some, the first step will be to add new faces to the management, whilst others may look elsewhere. Though for Billy Costacurta, the idea is very simple, and he voiced it to Sky (via Milan News) last night.

“This defeat sanctions the end of the Scudetto protagonists. If you sell Leao, Theo and Maignan, it may well be that you make a stronger team: it depends on how much they are worth, without the three of them, you can make a better team, Milan does not seem to me to depend so much on them.

“Nobody at Milan is indispensable. A couple of them I would keep and not sell, but I don’t think these three are indispensable.”

Considering the status of Costacurta, hearing such damning words about two of the Diavolo’s biggest stars of recent times is a huge worry, but it is not an unpopular opinion, far from it.
