According to the "Milan Sports" report, Allegri has confirmed that Menion is Milan's new first captain.

Menion will serve as the first captain of Milan in the 25/26 season, and this decision has attracted widespread attention, especially considering that the 32-year-old French international has previously reported transfer rumors, and teams such as Chelsea have shown interest in him.

Menion joined Milan in 2021 and the contract was valid until 2026. Last season, when other captains with the top picks were unable to play, Menion wore the captain's armband several times.

With the departure of captains one and two Calabria and Teo, Menion became one of the few foreign captains in Milan's history. The last time the foreign captain received this honor was Swedish player Lidholm in 1961. Since joining, the French goalkeeper has made 163 appearances in Milan's various competitions, maintaining 59 clean sheets.
