“AC Milan denies the false news circulating in these minutes regarding Franco Baresi. Franco is going through a delicate moment and the Club is by his side with affection, as is his family. We invite everyone to respect his privacy and not to contribute to the spread of unfounded information.” This is written by the Rossoneri club on social media, denying the news about the alleged death of the historic Milan legend that is circulating on the web. On Wednesday evening, articles, then posted online, tweets, and Facebook posts about the death of the 66-year-old legend of the Rossoneri and Italian football had spread. The 66-year-old former sweeper underwent a delicate operation in 2025 to treat a lung nodule. At the beginning of 2026, he moved the world by participating as a torchbearer, tired and emotional, in the opening ceremony of the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics at San Siro, his “home” stadium, together with his lifelong friend-rival, Inter captain Beppe Bergomi.
