Igli Tare seems like the most obvious choice to be AC Milan’s new sporting director, and he already has an idea for a signing this summer.
Considering the challenges in bringing Tony D’Amico to the club, it seems increasingly likely that Tare will arrive to be the new sporting director. We’ve already dove into the situation a little, and whilst there are a few negatives attached to it, he’s also the only candidate reportedly planning ideas.
It has previously been reported that he would ideally bring Massimiliano Allegri to Milan, and it seems that he is already trying to build on this.
As SportMediaset (via Milan News) write this morning, the Albanian has highlighted Jonathan Burkardt as a primary target for the club this summer. The Striker has been on fire for Mainz this season, scoring 15 times and assisting three times.
Born in 2000, he still has a lot of time to progress further, and with him not playing for one of Germany’s ‘giants’, he could be available for a more feasible price, which could interest the Rossoneri even further.
Additionally, he has also earned his first cap with the German National Team side, which is something that will only boost his image for the club. It will certainly be interesting to see whether this affects the Diavolo’s pursuit of Tammy Abraham.
