Grandfather Cesare and father Paolo were both Milan captains. However, unlike Cesare and Paolo - who were both defenders - Daniel is a midfielder.
“The debut was a goal that I had set,” Daniel, who wore the No. 98 shirt, told Milan’s TV channel. “Now let’s hope we can continue it.”
While Cesare died in 2016, Paolo Maldini is Milan’s current technical director.
