AC Milan Deny False Reports That Franco Baresi Has Died

He is undergoing immunotherapy, and Milan urged the public to respect his privacy and stop sharing unfounded claims. Baresi spent his entire senior career at AC Milan, making 716 competitive appearances between 1977 and 1997. The former Italy captain won six Serie A titles and three European Cups with the Rossoneri, who retired his iconic No. 6 shirt after his retirement.
