Milan's search for a new sporting director has been narrowed down to two leading candidates, but the club is taking its time to ensure they make the right choice in this important appointment.
Following the dismissal of François-Joseph Modesto – backed by chief scout Geoffrey Moncada – and with Andrea Berta expected to join Arsenal, the Rossoneri have identified Fabio Paratici and Igli Tare as the two most likely options, reports. KosovaPress.
In recent days, RedBird advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic and owner Gerry Cardinale met with Tare and Paratici in London, a move that reportedly frustrated CEO Giorgio Furlani, as reported by Calciomercato.com.
Feeling sidelined from discussions that could reshape the club's hierarchy, Furlani publicly insisted that 'all decisions pass through me' ahead of Milan's recent 2-1 defeat against Lazio.
Despite this, Ibrahimović and Cardinale remain determined to move forward. Paratici has signalled his full availability to take on the role on condition that he takes full control of the sporting sector and autonomy in assembling his team, writes KosovaPress.Meanwhile, Tare seems to be emerging as the frontrunner, as Ibrahimović and Moncada are said to favor his appointment.
With tensions simmering behind the scenes, Milan's next move could shape the club's future for years to come.
