Igli Tare already held discussions over a possible deal to bring Udinese striker and Italy international Lorenzo Lucca to Milan on the same day that he was officially announced as the new Rossoneri sporting director, according to Tuesday’s reports.

Tare was officially appointed as the new Milan sporting director on Monday.

The former Lazio executive got to work right away, and has already held discussions with Roma regarding three players: Tammy Abraham, currently on loan in San Siro, Alexis Saelemaekers, on loan in Rome, and Francesco Camarda, who could be made available for a loan deal in 2025-26.

Riso has reportedly informed Milan that it will take somewhere in the region of €25m to sign Lucca from Udinese this summer.

According to reports from Calciomercato.com, Lucca is a player who the Rossoneri management admire, but the club wants to appoint a new head coach before making a final decision on whether to proceed with a possible purchase.
