Cafu Set To Renew Milan Contract
Milan veteran Cafu is set to be offered a new one-year contract at the club, with Dario Simic sacrificed in order to make this happen. Brazilian legend Cafu has been at Milan since signing from Roma in 2003, however this was widely expected to be his final season at the club. Despite the fact that the wing-back is set to turn 38 in June, reports in Italy suggest that Milan are set to offer him a one-year extension to his expiring contract. The sacrificial lamb in order to keep Cafu will be Croatian defender Dario Simic. The 33-year-old has featured sparingly this season, and is eager to leave the club anyway in order to obtain first-team football. Milan’s hugely disappointing season had led many to believe that they would revolutionise their ageing squad in the summer. With Cafu set to stay on, and Andriy Shevchenko looking likely to re-join the club, it appears as though this may not happen. Cafu is the most capped Brazilian of all time, having appeared 156 times in the Selecao shirt. Roberto Rossi - goal.com |

I don't know what to say mainly because I don't really understand what's going on behind the curtains... what has Simic done to be treated like this... and what's exactly the use of Cafu in Milan beside being a mentor for our kids...

I don't see why they're linking Cafu being offered a renewal with Simic leaving. That one makes no sense.
Cafu being the mentor for the young Brazilians is worth the cost of a contract for him, IMO. I have no problem with him staying another year. |

"Great NEWS!!!!! I'm really happy about him and Milan"
If we continue like this we'll certainly survive relegation next season. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |

So let's offer him some position in the coaching staff. The problem with Cafu, Serginho and all this guys staying, is this giving the management an excuse not to reinforce. |

nobody is blaming Cafu, after all why would he reject a contract like that? the problem is the managment. This post has been edited by redbabies: Mar 19 2008, 01:21 PM |

FFS, this is exactly the kind of policy which has cost us dear over the last few years
We are a club based primarily on sentimentality it seems |

I mean that it's not a problem keeping Cafu as a player. So what? In my opinion it's good to have him. The problem is that the management still consider him a vital player... if they were not trying to look away from the problems they would keep Cafu (with a contract based on logic) AND buy his replacement... no policy affected and the team would be on it's way too...

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) What with the spritely cafu at RB and the sharp shooting Sheva upfront nothing can go wrong (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ...And wait til Ronaldo recovers, it wil be like a new signing (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Expect contract renewals for Serghino, Pippo et al in the near future. |

I have no problem with him staying another year. because with simic gone we'll room to use some of our younger cb such as darmian or albertazzi. |
