There could yet be a surprise twist in the sporting director pursuit for AC Milan as they have not given up on the idea of hiring Andrea Berta.
This morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via MilanPress) speaks of ‘high tension’ at Milan. In the event of a defeat today in Lecce, Sergio Conceicao could have his hours numbered and yet another shock could split the environment in two again, or in four this time.
The meeting between CEO Giorgio Furlani and owner Gerry Cardinale in New York had as its principle that of planning the new 2025-26 season, with the knowledge that this time zero mistakes will be permitted.
The first thing to do is choose the sporting director, which not too long ago seemed like a position that would be filled with another ‘collegial’ profile but now looks increasingly likely to be a figure with authority.
The paper states that Milan have not yet given up on Berta, formerly of Atletico Madrid. He has well-established contacts with Arsenal but so far nothing has been signed, so a ‘last-minute attempt’ is ready because the leadership believe he is the ‘perfect candidate’.
Unfortunately for Milan, however, it is a very complicated pursuit, and Igli Tare remains in pole position with Fabio Paratici behind him.
