CorSera: Paratici to Milan not fully done as exit clause is key – the situation | OneFootball

Yesterday news broke from multiple sources that Fabio Paratici was all set to become AC Milan’s new sporting director, but things are not quite all done yet.

Before the Coppa Italia derby, the CEO Giorgio Furlani denied some of the stories circulating by stating that no decision has yet been made. According to Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews), it is true that a verbal agreement has been reached, but we are not at the announcement stage.

Barring any sensational surprises, the Italian will be the new sporting director of the Rossoneri. When the signature will arrive, however, is currently unknown. We are now in the phase of drafting the contract, where a very important clause will be inserted.

Milan want to protect itself in the event of a criminal conviction of the former Juventus director in the Prisma investigation, and for this reason they want to include an exit clause in the contract, a sort of right of withdrawal.

This is a rather delicate point and for this reason it will take a bit of time for things to be made official. Paratici would also like to bring people he trusts with him, such as Lorenzo Giani, currently in charge of the scouting department at ​​Sampdoria.

Paratici will have to make a very important decision immediately: who will be the head coach next season? A few days ago he met the agent of Roberto De Zerbi, suggesting that the Marseille boss is the No.1 target at present.
