eFootball PES publisher Konami today confirmed that Iconic Moments & Legends players from former partner clubs AC Milan & Inter Milan will be removed from PES with the PES 2021 season update. Earlier Konami announced that they were set to lose AC Milan & Inter Milan license after deciding against licensing contract renewal with both the clubs. There was a lot of speculation ongoing regarding the fate of Legends & Iconic Moments players from both clubs after this announcement, and finally, Konami have confirmed they will no longer be available next season as a result of the license loss.

Konami have published the complete list of Legends & Iconic Moments players from AC Milan & Inter Milan that are set to be removed in the next season of PES. Interestingly, not all players from these clubs will be removed, especially players from AC Milan.

What players will you get in exchange for Milan & Inter Iconic Moments & Legends?
However, if you have any of the AC Milan or Inter Milan Iconic Moments or Legends players that will be removed in PES 2021 season update, you’ll get another random player of the similar card type, ball rarity and position in exchange as a fair compensation by Konami.
