Mattia Liberali left AC Milan last summer after his contract had one year remaining, joining Catanzaro on a free transfer. AC Milan secured a 50% future resale clause, which removed the need for an immediate transfer fee. Fans were upset because Liberali was viewed as a highly talented product of the youth system and the departure was shaped by contractual circumstances. Liberali confirmed that his physical condition was a key factor in not renewing. He said the chance to join Catanzaro arose in the summer and that he discussed the move with his agent, director Polito, and coach Aquilani. He described Serie B as formative for a young player. This season he has recorded three goals and four assists and has continued to provide creativity on the pitch.
"“Well, yes. The opportunity to join Catanzaro emerged in the summer, and I took it. My agent and I spoke with director Polito and coach Aquilani. They had a great project. And Serie B is a very formative league for a young player like me,” he told SportWeek (via MilanNews)."
"Liberali decided to leave Milan last summer, joining Catanzaro on a free transfer as he only had one year left on his contract with the Rossoneri. In exchange, they secured a 50% future resale clause, which is why there was no immediate transfer fee involved."
"That said, Liberali was a major cause of the decision as well since he was ultimately the one who decided to leave. This is something that he confirmed in a recent interview, highlighting the need for growth as a major part of that decision."
"This season, Liberali has three goals and four assists to his name, but his contributions on the pitch have really warranted more. Indeed, he has been a constant source of creativity, just like we saw when he played at Milan."
