Words and responsibilities for Markus Krösche matter far more than generous earnings. This is what emerges from a reconstruction carried out by the German newspaper Bild, which is very close to the affairs of Eintracht Frankfurt. According to the report, the Hanover-born executive said “no” to a major offer from AC Milan, a club described as being in great difficulty.
According to German newspaper 'BILD', RedBird owner Gerry Cardinale would have proposed to Krösche a four-year contract worth 10 million euros net per season, along with a transfer budget of 700 million euros, also spread over four years. His role would have been that of head of football, with Milan wanting Krösche to transform the club into a model very similar to what has been seen in recent seasons at Eintracht Frankfurt. The executive remained undecided for a long time and, after several sleepless nights, decided not to leave Frankfurt for Milan, as relayed via Calcio Mercato.
Reasons behind Krösche's rejection to AC Milan:
An unpublished detail has emerged regarding Krösche’s contractual situation: the buy-out clause is 7 million euros, but it is valid only for the winter transfer window. Another disruptive factor was the publication, in many Italian media outlets, of the agreement reportedly reached with Milan last weekend.
