At Casa Milan, they avoid using the word “revolution,” even though the feeling is that this is exactly what’s happening, with Igli Tare now fully in charge. The Rossoneri club has decided to rely on the Albanian executive’s methods. During yesterday’s informal presentation, Tare outlined Milan’s market strategies and guiding principles as the club aims to become competitive again—especially in Italy.
Francesco Camarda's situation
After the poor management of last season, Milan has decided to send Francesco Camarda out on loan to finally guarantee him consistent playing time at senior level. In recent days, there was talk of Serie B and even Udinese, but in the end, the 2008-born striker will join Lecce. It’s arguably the best choice, especially since he’ll be working with Eusebio Di Francesco and Pantaleo Corvino—two figures who certainly know a thing or two about developing talent. The deal is a loan with an option to buy and a counter-option, since Milan has no intention of losing Camarda, who is seen as a key part of the club’s future, as relayed via Milannews.it.
Milan following Ardon Jashari
According to Tuttosport this morning, Milan is ready to launch an attempt to sign Ardon Jashari. The 2002-born midfielder from Club Brugge is the chosen one of Max Allegri to strengthen and complete Milan’s midfield. The club’s latest offer—€27million—confirms how serious they are about signing the Swiss talent. Milan is also reportedly ready to make a major financial effort to meet Allegri’s demands. However, negotiations with Club Brugge may drag on, turning into a full-blown saga, as the Belgian side values Jashari at €40 million—well beyond Milan’s current spending capacity. It’s shaping up to be another “De Ketelaere-style” operation, with hopes that—if completed—the sporting outcome will be far more successful.
Igli Tare feels he is in pole position for Giovanni Leoni. This is what was reported this morning by Tuttosport, although they specified that, before Milan can make a move for the 2006-born Parma player, they first need to complete a departure in that area of the squad — as confirmed by the sporting director himself during his informal presentation yesterday. The intention to bring Giovanni Leoni to the Rossoneri is real, as is the player's approval of the move and that of Max Allegri. However, Milan runs a serious risk of being left out of this puzzle game if the competition decides to move decisively for the young Italian talent.
