Milan has not yet made its final decision on the new sporting director.
After missing out on Fabio Paratici, it seemed that everything was practically set for Igli Tare following the meeting a few days ago in Rome with Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani, but the Rossoneri club has taken some time because it clearly wants to evaluate other profiles as well, such as Tony D'Amico, current sporting director of Atalanta, who will land at San Siro on Sunday for the clash precisely against the red and black side of Milano.
AC Milan's Furlani wants Tony D'Amico from Atalanta
This was reported this morning by Tuttosport, which explains that the fact Tare has been put on standby suggests that at the top of the list for Milan and Furlani there is another name—indeed, that of Tony D'Amico—who from several sources was identified as the Rossoneri CEO's initial favorite. However, convincing Atalanta to let him go will not be easy, because he has a contract until 2027 and is absolutely at the center of the Begamo-based club's project, even after the arrival in the sporting area of John Murtough, former Manchester United executive, as Director of Global Development.
Milan - D'Amico, contacts at San Siro?
Despite this, Furlani does not want to give up and wants to make a serious attempt. And who knows, maybe Sunday's match at San Siro between Milan and Atalanta could be the right moment for a contact with the Percassi family to test the waters and see if there are the conditions to free the current Atalanta sporting director.
In addition to his profile and that of Igli Tare, the names of Giovanni Manna from Napoli and Giovanni Sartori from Bologna also remain in the running, although both seem intent on staying where they are.
