The race for the position of sporting director at Milan is completely open, with several candidates in the running. Igli Tare had reached a general agreement with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gerry Cardinale in a meeting a few weeks ago in London, but Giorgio Furlani has taken his time because he wants to evaluate other profiles as well.
Milan target Paratici on the rise
The common idea would be to add to the working team a figure with great knowledge of Italian football, a vast network of international contacts, and a résumé filled with victories and achieved objectives. This profile perfectly matches that of Fabio Paratici, who is now close to fully serving his 30-month ban. The stock of the Ligurian executive is rising significantly: initially, there were doubts within the ownership, but these are gradually dissipating, to the point that a meeting with Giorgio Furlani is already scheduled for this week.
Antonio Conte, Milan's dream?
The possible appointment of Fabio Paratici would keep Massimiliano Allegri’s candidacy in orbit, as he is particularly appreciated by Giorgio Furlani and Gerry Cardinale, who consider him perfect to start a new winning cycle. However, Fabio Paratici’s preference would be entirely for Antonio Conte: the coach from Salento has signed a contract with Napoli until 2027, with a reported salary of around €6.5 million per season plus performance-based bonuses. A complicated objective for a number of reasons, but not impossible: a potential Milan under Paratici would 100% make an attempt.
