AC Milan in Final Stages of Talks with Igli Tare for Director of Sport Role
CEO Giorgio Furlani Set to Meet with New Favourite Candidate Today
AC Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani is reportedly in the final stages of talks regarding the appointment of a new Director of Sport for the Italian football club. Furlani is set to meet with Igli Tare later today, who has emerged as the new favorite candidate for the role after Fabio Paratici’s negotiations fell through.
Paratici, who was on the verge of finalizing the paperwork for the role, faced setbacks due to ongoing legal issues stemming from a ban for inflating transfer profit margins while at Juventus. Although the 30-month ban is set to end in July, uncertainty surrounding potential further legal ramifications jeopardized his ability to effectively carry out the role.

Unlike other candidates such as Tony D’Amico of Atalanta and Bologna’s Giovanni Sartori, Tare is out of contract and therefore freely available to take over immediately at Milan. This makes him an attractive candidate for the role.
Tare had originally been linked with the job back in 2019 when approached by Paolo Maldini, but Lazio refused to release him at the time. Furlani and Tare are expected to discuss the specifics of the project and terms of the contract at their meeting today, with a final decision potentially forthcoming shortly thereafter.
