Flamini official, one year extension

This is interesting stuff. Wasn't Flamini offered a 2-year, 1.8M per year contract? Is this new contract punitive? Funny how things work out. Flamini's agent looks so pathetic in front of Galliani.

Flamini asked for a "higher" contract (compared to what was offered, not compared to what he had) and probably said he could go somewhere else if Milan doesn't want to renew him at his conditions. Milan never accepted his request and finally stopped the negotiations, waiting 1-2 days to see if the player really had offers, and finally, like he has none, Galliani has been able to send this even more reduced contract to Flamini who had no choice but accepting ...

Good game by Galliani on this one, and missed bluff by Flamini and his agents. Fair game, but Galliani is a better liar ...
