FEBRUARY 1, 2025 • Associated Press

Completes Atalanta switch Maldini has officially joined Atalanta on a permanent deal from Monza.

Impact Maldini will help replace Ademola Lookman (knee) in the next few matches and replace Fiorentina-bound Nicolo Zaniolo in the rotation. He won't play as much as he did at Monza, although Atalanta rotate all their men and are still alive in all competitions. He has scored thrice and added 39 shots (14 on target), 12 chances created and 38 crosses (six accurate) in 20 appearances (16 starts).

Ruled out for Verona game Maldini hasn't been selected for Saturday's game against Verona because he's about to transfer, Mediaset reported.

Scores again Maldini scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus Bologna.

Impact Maldini has logged a goal in each of his last two appearances. They are a stark contrast to the earlier half of his 2024-25 season, which saw him score only once in 19 appearances. Perhaps he is turning over a new leaf with the second half of Bologna's campaign, with him only one goal away from tying his goal tally for Monza's 2023-24 team.

JANUARY 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nets in Fiorentina fixture Maldini scored one goal to go with three shots (one on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 2-1 win over Fiorentina.

Impact Maldini recorded his second goal of the season, snapping out of a slump that started back in early September, with a close-range finish on a feed by Pedro Pereira. He didn't start in a pair of recent games, but this showing should help him in that regard. He played as a false-nine in this one. He has posted 14 shots (four on target), six key passes and 10 crosses (zero accurate) in his last five outings.

JANUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fires in four shots Maldini had four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Parma.

Impact Maldini couldn't find the back of the net despite a high volume of shots, as only one of his four shots would find the target while not a single one found the back of the net. He has now gone 12 games since his last goal contribution and still only has one on the season despite starting in 13 of his 16 appearances. This is a huge drop off for the 23-year-old, as he saw five goal contributions in only 11 appearances (two starts) last season.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will return versus Parma Maldini completed a one-match suspension in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Parma.

Impact Maldini will likely be back in the XI on Saturday, replacing Pedro Pereira or Samuele Birindelli in a more aggressive formation. He has recorded 19 shots (five on target), seven key passes, 18 crosses (four accurate) and five corners in his last five showings, with no goals or assists.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will sit out Juventus clash Maldini drew four fouls, had three shots (zero on target) and two crosses (zero accurate) and was booked for the fifth time in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Juventus.

Impact Maldini was active but a little sloppy in the final third and picked up a silly yellow card in the final minutes. Mirko Maric or Omari Forson will take his place against Juventus on Sunday.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off the bench against Como Maldini recorded one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Como.

Impact Maldini didn't make the XI amid some rotation but was a constant threat after subbing in at halftime and teed up Milan Djuric with a brilliant heel flick late, but his teammate didn't cash in. He had started three straight prior to this one and will remain heavily involved no matter what. He has logged 12 shots (four on target), four key passes and 12 crosses (four accurate) in the last five tilts.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fires three shots Maldini recorded three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Torino.

Impact After back-to-back games as a sub, Maldini picked up his third consecutive start. He continued to shine as a strong contributor as he fired at least three shots and had at least one shot on target for a third straight game. On the other hand, he did not register a chance created after accounting for one in each of the last two outings.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Wasteful versus Milan Maldini registered five shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate), two tackles (one won) and two corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss against AC Milan.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Subs in late against Venezia Maldini (shoulder) had one pass and one cross (zero accurate) and drew one foul in 12 minutes in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Venezia.

Impact Maldini was mostly spared following a knock and didn't make an impact. He'll start over Gianluca Caprari against Atalanta if he's closer to 100 percent.

OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Venezia game Maldini (shoulder) "will most likely be on the bench against Venezia," coach Alessandro Nesta announced.

Impact Maldini has avoided big shoulder injuries and should be available after being shelved for the previous game, but Gianluca Caprari will probably be confirmed in the XI out of precaution. He has scored once and logged eight shots (five on target), 11 crosses (two accurate) and seven tackles (four won) in his last five appearances.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Verona fixture Maldini will miss Monday's game against Verona due to a shoulder contusion, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Maldini got hurt in training on the eve of the game and will be better evaluated in the coming days. The coach could use Matteo Pessina as a no.10, with Warren Bondo and Alessandro Bianco together in the midfield, or turn to Gianluca Caprari. Samuele Vignato (shoulder) and Omari Forson could also enjoy an uptick in minutes in light of his absence.

OCTOBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Swings in three crosses versus Roma Maldini drew three fouls and recorded one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Roma.

Impact Maldini put up decent numbers considering the level of the opponents and the fact that Monza didn't attack a lot as a whole. He hasn't made the stat sheet in four games, where he has recorded six crosses (three accurate), 10 crosses (two accurate) and one chance created.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check by Bologna Maldini drew four fouls and registered one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Bologna.

Impact Maldini took a step back compared to previous appearances mostly because Monza didn't generate much offense in this one. He has scored once and posted seven shots (five on target), one chance created and nine crosses (one accurate) in five games.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in draw Maldini scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Fiorentina.

Impact Maldini notched his first goal of the season in the 32nd minute of the match as he beat the goalkeeper with a long-range shot. He nearly got a second goal a few minutes later, but it went off the post. He has now started all three games this season, after starting only five out of 18 games last season.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Continues as starter Maldini recorded two shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Genoa.

Impact Maldini has now started both matches to begin the season after signing permanently with Monza, seeing the same amount of time in both games after seeing a 62nd-minute substitution in both contests. He saw a decent performance against Genoa, notching one tackle, two shots and two crosses. However, he is still in search of his first goal contribution, earning five in his 11 appearances with the club last campaign.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Monza permanently Maldini has officially inked a contract until 2026 with an automatic option with Monza after transferring from Milan.

Impact Maldini returns to Monza following a six-month loan spell where he showed well despite a part-time role, scoring four times and providing one assist in 11 appearances (tow starts). His minute should grow following the departure of Andrea Colpani.

JULY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable against Juventus Maldini (undisclosed) won't be back versus Juventus on Friday, coach Raffaele Palladino announced.

Impact Maldini will skip his fourth season in a row, which deprived him of a chance to get some minutes in somewhat meaningless matches. Monza will have to decide whether to pick up their option to keep him following a loan spell after he notched four goals, 12 shots (five on target), 11 key passes and nine crosses (three accurate) in his 11 appearances but starting just twice.

MAY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stays out for Frosinone fixture Maldini "will likely miss the last two games," coach Raffaele Palladino announced.

MAY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable against Fiorentina Maldini won't be an option versus Fiorentina, coach Raffaele Palladino announced.
