TMW

In the long interview granted to TMW, Stefano Antonelliagent among others of Mattia Liberalialso spoke about the growth of the playmaker Milan: “I have several clients who wear the Rossoneri shirt: there are D’Alessio, Magni, Mancioppi and Liberali. There is a lot of talk about Mattia because he is an incredible talent, who has already sent important signals. He is growing with the right methodology, the club he’s understanding how it’s best to manage energy because these guys clearly play a bit in the first team, a bit in the second team and a bit in the Youth League with the Primavera. Sooner or later there will be more clarity and more important solutions they are esteemed especially from Fonseca, but patience is needed.”

Instead, it is his clients who shine, one above all Destiny Udogie.
“He will turn 22 at the end of November, he is particularly young and has a footballing life ahead of him. We are at more than 35 games as a starter at Tottenham, that’s a lot, it means he is above average. He still has a lot to grow and can improve a lot.”

Mandragora however returned from injury. As your contract expires in 2026, can you clarify what your plans are for the future?
“Rolando has shown incredible character, he returned to the pitch 35 days after meniscus surgery and he did it well. At Fiorentina there is competition, it’s true, but this means that there is an important staff, it’s a team who has a series of variables and possible protagonists in the middle of the pitch. Palladino immediately gave him a shirt… Since the Viola are busy on three fronts, there will be room for everyone, alternation is normal a detail at the moment, but it won’t become a topic, but now he must only focus on Fiorentina.”
