CM: Furlani to meet Tare again while waiting for D’Amico – operability issue emerges | OneFootball

The search for AC Milan’s new sporting director risks turning into a soap opera if it hasn’t already, with no decision having arrived yet.

As Calciomercato.com recall, it seems that Fabio Paratici was the chosen one before talks fell apart at an advanced stage. Then it looked like the leadership had pivoted to Igli Tare, with whom a meeting took place at the end of February in London and recently with Giorgio Furlani in Rome.

Furlani intends to see Tare face to face again in the next 48 hours. The feeling is that the CEO wants to keep this option open, even though it is clearly less strong than others, because he is waiting for signals from Bergamo.

More precisely he wants to hear from Tony D’Amico, the sporting director at Atalanta who was recently awarded as the best in his role last season. Given Tare is free and D’Amico requires persuading, it could be implied that the latter is favoured.

In all interviews done so far Furlani has explained to the candidates what the vision of the club is from a planning and economic point of view, reiterating a concept that is so clear to the American ownership: at Milan you work as a team.

There is also a further issue that the candidates are having difficulty absorbing: the boundaries of their operating power. In essence, Furlani also wants a say on transfer decisions, without forgetting that then everything passes through the approval of the headquarters in London.

The ending of this story has been postponed to May. D’Amico remains ahead in the approval rating, but Tare could have a final push at any minute. The fact things are taking so long puts Milan in an uncomfortable position in view of next season.
