Adriano Galliani played a crucial role in bringing Mario Balotelli to AC Milan, a decision that may now come back to haunt him. The club’s management is reportedly considering taking action against Galliani for his involvement in the transfer.
Galliani, who has been with AC Milan since 1986 and has been instrumental in the club’s successes, finds his future uncertain. Despite being a longstanding figure alongside Silvio Berlusconi, the current administrator and vice-president of AC Milan, Galliani’s departure at the end of the season seems increasingly likely.
The latest controversy revolves around Galliani’s persistent support for Balotelli, despite the player’s failure to meet expectations. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Galliani, who narrowly avoided leaving AC Milan earlier in the season, may now face consequences for his unwavering faith in Balotelli’s potential.
The criticism of Balotelli’s abilities has been echoed by figures such as Alessandro Costacurta, who questioned whether Balotelli could ever truly shine as a star or achieve world-class status. This adds further pressure on Galliani and raises doubts about his judgment regarding player acquisitions.
