Boban shared his side of the story in an interview, explaining that everything was in place for Szoboszlai to join Milan. He said, "We had agreed on the transfer deal, including a 20 million euro payment to Salzburg. However, the Milan board rejected the proposal, which left me surprised and puzzled.

Boban then revealed that he tried to meet with the Milan board to discuss the issue, but was rebuffed for two months. As a result, he was unable to persuade Szoboszlai to stay with the team. Some people may have been surprised by Szoboszlai's departure, but Boban explained that it was not entirely unexpected.

Boboan also mentioned that Szoboszlai was initially keen to join Milan, but was disappointed when the deal fell through. He said, "Szoboszlai had already agreed to join Milan, but the board's decision meant he had to wait until the summer transfer window to explore other options. He was very disappointed and wanted to join Milan immediately."
