Repubblica: Moncada’s role discussed as Paratici wants Sampdoria scout at Milan | OneFootball

One of the topics that has been discussed in AC Milan’s meetings with Fabio Paratici is the role of Geoffrey Moncada, a report claims.

La Repubblica (via MilanNews) confirm the updates from Sky and La Gazzetta dello Sport by stating that Paratici is getting closer and closer to becoming the new sporting director of Milan. The CEO Giorgio Furlani met him in London with owner Gerry Cardinale yesterday.

The agreement is one step away, but there are still some issues to be resolved. In fact, yesterday’s meeting highlighted a bit of distance on some details and among these, rather surprisingly, is the position of chief scout.

Paratici wants to bring Sampdoria’s chief scout Lorenzo Giani with him, who in the past was a scout at Juventus and Tottenham alongside the director. However, this is a role that Geoffrey Moncada currently does and will continue to do, despite being technical director by title.

The two sides are still working with confidence towards an agreement, and the feeling is that all will be resolved. Paratici would initially act as an external consultant until July 20, when his suspension for the capital gains case will end. Then, he can take up the official position of sporting director.
