GdS: Milan have Lopetegui-esque contract ready for No.1 target Conceicao | OneFootball

Over the weekend, AC Milan made strides to make Sergio Conceicao their next manager, and today, a report has suggested the contract that the Portuguese manager will need to become Stefano Pioli’s heir.

It is not known when the decision will be announced regarding Pioli’s departure, given what the club have stood by – that a decision will be made at the end of the season. However, with the advancements in the managerial landscape, something could be announced before this date.

Talks with Conceicao have advanced very quickly, and he has become the favourite for the soon-to-be vacant post and a meeting has been arranged between himself and Porto to discuss their future, or lack of it. Nevertheless, the Portuguese manager holds all the cards and could walk away from his €28 million contract.

Sticking with salaries, with this weekend’s advancements, Gazzetta dello Sport (via Record) have offered an insight into the figures which may be required for Conceicao to join the Rossoneri. After signing his new deal at Porto in April, he would earn €7m per season at Porto if he stayed. However, Milan are offering a figure similar to what Julen Lopetegui was offered – €4m.

The report suggests, though, that this figure is in line with Conceicao’s vision, and given he is ‘set’ on a move to Milano, where the fans have given their approval, a deal could move quickly.
