Maldini: Manchester United Chelsea Arsenal have invited me, I am shaken by joining Chelsea

05 May 23rd AC Milan legend Maldini was interviewed by Carragher and talked about his invitation from Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal that year and had the opportunity to play in the Premier League.

Carragher: Do you have a chance to play football in England? Do you regret not coming? Everyone wants to see you in the Premier League.

Maltini: I have received invitations from Manchester United, but I have never had direct contact with them. Luca Viali called me when coaching Chelsea. It was 1996. We had a really bad season. Arsenal had invited them, but I never had direct contact with them.

I will refuse anyway. Viali is my friend, he is the only one who shakes me. There were some problems with the team and the fans at the time. I had thought, ‘if…’ but eventually gave up.

Maltini has played 902 games for Milan, scored 33 goals and 43 assists, and won 26 important trophies for the team, including 5 Champions League titles, and 126 appearances for the Italian national team.
