At the end of the 2023/24 season, Adli had become a player of importance for Stefano Pioli. However, he was one of the first players shifted on in the summer mercato, despite wishes to fight for a place.
In the first few months with La Viola, things seemed to be following a similar path. Again, Adli was shining, like he had for Milan, and there were early suggestions that the club would activate his buy clause. However, this will not be the case.
Daniele Prade, this evening, spoke in a press conference to conclude the season, and was asked about the Frenchman’s future, as Milan News relays.
Fagioli and Gosens have seen the obligation come into play, and we would have bought them anyway. We will talk about Cataldi with the coach, while for Adli, we will not exercise the option. By mutual decision, together with the player.”
Considering that the decision has been made mutually says that Adli either wanted out of Florence, or a return to Milan. Perhaps, he senses a new opportunity with a new coach. After all, at only 24 years old, he still has a long future ahead of him, perhaps in Rossonero, which he hoped for last summer.
