The veteran defender who has been at the club for all of his
career will play on until he his 41. He has made over 600
appearances for the Rossoneri and he will be the oldest player in
Europe still playing at the highest level.
Maldini himself announced that he would retire this year but it
seems as if the player cannot get enough of the beautiful game.
Milan announced the extension on their official website and the
statement reads:
“Paolo Maldini has extended his deal with Milan until 30 June 2009.
“By the time he ends his career, he will have enjoyed 41 unique
years of great success with one passion and one colour.”
During his time with Milan the player has won an endless list of
trophies including seven Scudetti and a record five Champions
League trophies as well a Coppa Italia, two Intercontinental Cups
and one Club World Cup.
