Kicker, the main German sports magazine, reported interest from AC Milan in the sporting director of Eintracht Frankfurt, Markus Krösche. According to their German colleagues, the club currently holding his contract "maintains a cautious attitude towards the circulating rumours." However, a potential clue about his future was provided by Krösche himself, who, when contacted by Kicker, deflected questions about his future and refused to comment on these rumours.
Furthermore, these rumours and the Rossoneri’s interest have “caused surprise within the club’s board, as well as among the public,” and considerable concern because, in the event of a resignation request, the club would not be able to retain its sporting director. This "would represent the worst-case scenario and would shake the club to its foundations." The executive holds full authority over the club’s sporting decisions, making him a highly central figure. In recent years, he has generated very high revenues through significant player sales to major European clubs, thereby ensuring strong financial stability for the club, as relayed via Milan News.
Krosche-Milan, the contract with Eintracht:
It should also be noted that Markus Krösche still has two years remaining on his contract with the German club and therefore, if necessary, he would have to approach the chairman of the supervisory board, Mathias Beck, something he has not done so far. However, it is equally unlikely that, without guarantees and a contract ready to sign with the Rossoneri, the director would involve the supervisory board to communicate his decision.
