Live broadcast on November 14, recently, the former Milan Simic accepted an interview with the "Gazzetta dello Sport", talking about his decision to leave Milan.
He said: "In January 2024, I was approached by a lot of teams from Serie A and abroad, and also this summer, I don't want to reveal the names of the clubs, but they are important clubs."
"But when I saw Anderlecht's project, I didn't have any doubts. I can play in all the games here and I am a starter for a young team. Everything here is designed to be stronger."
"The decision to leave Milan was not easy, I don't deny that, I was 17 when I first set foot in Milan's training base. When Maldini called me, I couldn't believe it. It's a dream, an emotion. You can imagine a young man sitting on an exercise bike who suddenly gets a call from a legend. But I don't regret leaving Milan, I have a project here."
Did Milan not give you a chance?
"I don't know, I can only say Anderlecht are a great club and they are very committed. After scoring against Monza, I received offers from more than half the teams in Serie A and I never had a choice to stay in the top flight or go down."
"Playing for Milan Future in Serie C? As I said, it's Serie A or nothing, there's no other choice. It's not about money, there's a lot of gossip about contracts, they say I want more money, I want a starting place, but it's all false. I could have been one of the four centre-backs but I never asked for anything."
