Arkadiusz Milik (Poland, February 28, 1994) has been left out of Gennaro Gattuso's lists, both domestic and European. The stands will be the home of the Polish international. Last year he was the team's starting striker, recently he was one of the most sought-after strikers in Serie A and Juventus, Atleti or Tottenham have knocked on Di Laurentiis's door at some point to inquire about his situation. He had it done with Roma, but the agreement was truncated when Dzeko did not leave in the direction of Turin. From listed star to discarded. A turn of events that no one, our protagonist included, expected.
“The club has not treated me well”, laments that of Tychy in statements to 'Sportowefakty.pl'. In the middle of his country he explains the reasons for his fall from grace. “Napoli wanted to renew me and gave me an ultimatum: either sign or leave. I decided to try my luck out. My agent looked for a solution, several interested teams appeared and we sat down to talk”, Explain. “The pandemic complicated things, as for other players … I will not say the names of the teams that contacted me, but it is true that I accepted some proposals,” he acknowledges.
However, if the negotiations did not come to fruition, it was not because of the lack of interest from the Polish attacker. “The teams in question never managed to reach an agreement with Napoli, so I had to stay”. Resigned, his biggest disappointment came when he learned that he was not registered in Serie A and in the Europa League by third parties: “It was difficult to find out about this from the press. I expected it, but this lack of communication is very unprofessional, “he says.
Suffer and resist
However, despite the complexity of the situation (“there are other players who have not renewed, but in their case there were no problems”), he does not give up: “I have been the team's top scorer the last two seasons, I have always been one hundred percent. I do not regret what I did or decided. I will suffer a little, but I will resist.”, ends a Milik whose football life has taken a 180 degree turn.
In the 35 games he played last year, he scored 14 goals, while in 2018-19 he signed 20 goals, 17 of them in the 35 games he played in Serie A. Numbers that placed him among the most outstanding scorers of the Italian championship. However, the signing of Victor Osimhen this summer closed the door to ownership and, it seems, now the minute has also been closed. As he himself admits, It is up to him to suffer and resist while he remains in his particular limbo.
