Speaking on SportMediaset on Italia Uno, Claudio Raimondi explained that behind Eintracht Frankfurt’s refusal to allow Markus Krösche (and his right-hand man Timmo Hardung) to leave lies the fact that the Germans did not like the way Milan tried to approach him. It also caused irritation that an agreement had been reached without their knowledge and that the Rossoneri had no intention of paying any compensation to release Krösche.
As a result, the search must now restart to find the club from Via Aldo Rossi’s new head of football. At the moment, the leading options are three: Devin Özek, currently without a club after leaving Fenerbahçe; José Boto, a current Flamengo executive whose stock is rising and who already knows Ruben Amorim from their Benfica days (when Boto was an executive and the new Milan coach was still a player); and Jason Ayto, formerly of Arsenal and Brighton.
