Sulley Muntari will no longer play for AC Milan but will continue to get paid in wiered arrangement
Sulley Muntari will continue to receive his wages
at AC Milan despite the decision for the
midfielder to no longer play for the club.

The 30-year-old’s agent, Federico Pastorello has
offered more details on the new but strange
arrangements between the Italian giants and his
client after it became very obvious Muntari is no
longer wanted by the Rossoneri.

Pastorello had revealed a request by Muntari to be
excluded from Saturday’s Serie-A match at
Palermo had been accepted.

This revelation gave the clearest indication of
the Ghanaian’s imminent departure from the club
despite having over a year to run on his existing
deal.

Muntari has now been reduced to a bit-part player
at the Italian giants.

He has been benched in four of the side’s last
five matches despite being fully fit and not
suspended.

Pastorello now reveals the situation will be
extended for the remainder of the season with his
client not wanting to continue to sit on the Milan
bench for matches – enforcing reports the Ghana
international’s days at the San Siro are
numbered.

“There is no controversy behind this decision.
It was agreed fully with the club,” agent
Federico Pastorello told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“We spoke to Adriano Galliani and we reached
this point. It’s a situation that will continue
for the rest of the season, unless [coach] Pippo
Inzaghi has an emergency and needs him.

“Muntari will continue to train with the team
every day, and on Saturday and Sunday he will
train alone. He will be paid by the club because
he’ll continue his employment. It was a mutual
decision for him not to play.

“There are no disciplinary or medical reasons.
He just wants to avoid sitting on the bench as a
substitute.

“It’s a demonstration of fairness for an
important player who is aged 31 and has already
been told he’s not part of the future at
Milan.”
