AC Milan have held talks with Fabio Paritici over the vacant sporting director position, according to a report.
Milan have already changed coaches twice in the past few months, replacing Stefano Pioli with Paulo Fonseca who was then sacked in December and replaced by Sergio Conceição. However, further big changes could come in the summer.
The Rossoneri have been officially without a sporting director since December 11 after the dismissal of Antonio D’Ottavio, who was a figure that was more in the background anyway given how little he faced the media.
He left the club due to what was widely reported to be friction with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jovan Kirovski on the construction of Milan Futuro, and since then there has been speculation regarding a replacement.
According to Footmercato, the Rossoneri leadership are in talks with Fabio Paratici, the former sporting director of Juventus and Tottenham. He was then suspended by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) amid the plusvalenza scandal, which led him to resign from his post at Spurs.
Some high-profile names arrived at Juventus under Paratici’s tenure such as Paul Pogba, Carlos Tevez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Federico Chiesa and Paulo Dybala. However, it must be said that their best business came when he worked alongside Beppe Marotta, now at Inter.
