GdS: Milan likely to go to Tare first in the new sporting director meetings | OneFootball

Igli Tare seemed the most probable candidate to arrive at AC Milan before Giorgio Furlani was given the keys to the club. Now, it seems the director could return to the front of the line.

Fabio Paratici’s ban has halted Milan’s decision to hire him as their sporting director, after new information reportedly came to light. So now, the club will look in other directions, or perhaps, even in old directions.

See, the links to Tare have not just existed this year, no. Instead, as Gazzetta dello Sport writes, this is a six-year marriage in waiting. In June 2019, Paolo Maldini considered the Albanian as the possible new sporting director, but Claudio Lotito rejected the move, so he never arrived at the Rossoneri, despite having an eight-hour meeting with Maldini.

A long time has passed since then, but the director finds himself linked to the job once again, though this time Lotito does not stand in his way, and it seems that no one might.

As the report states, the former Lazio director is the most likely candidate, given his CV matches what the Rossoneri require for the future: a knowledgeable figure who has experience working and succeeding in Italy.

Having already met with Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the next approval needed will be Furlani, given he is now the elected leader of the project. Phone communications have already taken place, so the next step, surely, is a face-to-face meeting.
