Milan legend Paolo Maldini is reportedly ‘a step away’ from returning to the club in an executive capacity.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Maldini’s homecoming could even be announced as early as Sunday.
The former Italy defender made over 900 appearances for Milan between 1984 and 2008, winning seven Scudetti and five European Cups.
However, he had been reluctant to return to the club following his retirement as his relationship with former owner Silvio Berlusconi became strained, while he confessed to having little faith in Li Yonghong’s board.
It marks another coup for Elliott Management and Leonardo, who have already overseen the Rossoneri’s reinstatement to the Europa League and the arrivals of ex-Juventus pair Mattia Caldara and Gonzalo Higuain.

Finally the legend is called back! Finally the legend returns! Finally the legend will be back! AC Milan should have never allowed Paolo Maldini to be away from the Club for so many years following his retirement. We missed you Paolo and I have no doubt that you too can contribute to ensure that our "grande vecchio Milan" returns to be back in the top 5 Clubs of the world. It is therefore great to have you back Paolo!
