Former AC Milan director Paolo Maldini has shared insights into the club’s approach to player acquisitions, specifically mentioning the signing of midfielder R. Loftus-Cheek. In an interview with Repubblica, Maldini emphasized that the club does not rely on data-driven methods such as algorithms or ‘moneyball’ strategies to attract players like Loftus-Cheek.
R. Loftus-Cheek, who currently plays for AC Milan in the Serie A, is an English midfielder known for his contributions on the pitch. Maldini’s comments suggest a more traditional approach to scouting and signing players, focusing on their skills and potential fit with the team rather than purely statistical analysis.
