Maldini is sent away from Milan by Papa (Paolo Maldini). Transfer from Milan to Spezia Calcio. Daniel Maldini changes clubs at the age of 20. His father make a loan transfer so that he could get more playing practice. This was also tried with the second son, but Christian Maldini has not yet managed to be a professional Player. Now Daniel should make it, he played 8 games in the league for Milan last season and scored 1 goal, he is always substituted, so he need to play more at Spezia Calcio.
You're right that he needs more playing time but wouldn't it be better if he played in a strong Serie B team instead of a weak Serie A team? In a stronger team playing in a weaker league I think he could have stood out better. In my opinion, the boys don't have the qualities of their father. The father plays a big role in their career..
