According to soccerhuz.com, there are still some issues Milan and Fabio Paratici need to resolve before he can sign on as their new director of sport following today’s meeting.
The former Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur director remains the hot favourite to take over their transfer strategy from this summer, beating competition from Igli Tare and Tony D’Amico.
Some had believed the contracts would be signed this evening when Paratici met with Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani and RedBird patron Gerry Cardinale in London, the latest of several encounters.
However, it is reported that there are still some problems to be resolved before they can put pen to paper.
These include the salary and the length of the contract, while Sportitalia claim that Paratici wants to revolutionise the entire Milan sporting hierarchy.
This would be a return to Italy for the first time since leaving Juventus in May 2021, when his contract was not renewed.
He moved on to Tottenham, receiving a world-wide 30-month ban for artificially inflated profit margins in the buying and selling of players at Juve.
That ban will expire on July 20, so until then he can only officially act as a consultant – the same role he currently has at Tottenham – rather than negotiate transfers directly for Milan.
