Early career

Maldini started his career at A.C. Milan Primavera but never broke through to the first team. In 2014, he spent half-season on loan at Brescia,[1] but failed to make an appearance for the side. In honour of his late grandfather, Cesare, Maldini was named as the Milan Primavera captain for a friendly match against Novara in April 2016.[2]

In July 2016, Maldini left Milan for Reggiana,[3] and subsequently loaned out to Hamrun Spartans.[4]

On 18 September 2016, Maldini made his professional debut with Hamrun Spartans in the Maltese Premier League, playing as a starter in a 3–1 victory against St. Andrews.[5][6]

On 15 October 2016, Maldini committed defensive mistakes that led to all goals, including an own goal, in a 0–3 defeat against Sliema Wanderers.[7]

Pro Sesto

On 23 January 2017, Maldini's loan at Hamrun Spartans were terminated and he was released by Reggiana to join Pro Sesto in the Serie D.[8][9]

Fondi

He spent the 2017–18 season with Serie C club Fondi.

Pro Piacenza

On 6 July 2018, he was unveiled as a new player of Serie C club Pro Piacenza.[10]
