CM: Europa League, capital gains and scouting – why Kroesche is an option for Milan | OneFootball

Markus Kroesche’s name has appeared today on AC Milan’s scouting list, and it seems the Eintracht Frankfurt director could be an ideal option for the Rossoneri.

The past few days have shown a few more cards being brought into play with the management, sporting director, and even coach situation. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was seemingly the one to bring things together, but Giorgio Furlani has effectively been promoted, and now the ball is in his court.

As a result, he has added more names to the sporting director list, and they are those of Thiago Scuro and Kroesche, but there is no knowledge of either’s position.

With this, Calciomercato.com have taken a look at the profile of the German, and identified some key assets.

With RB Leipzig, he made a number of big signings, such as: Dani Olmo, Christopher Nkunku and Angelino. However, the signings of Ademola Lookman and Lazar Samardzic – who both play for Atalanta now – also were done under his tenure. Despite both failing, they were sold on for profits, showing that he has an eye for value.

Then, with Eintracht Frankfurt, he built the Europa League winning team, spearheaded by Kolo Muani, but when the Frenchman left, the club didn’t panic as Marmoush followed – again, an eye for talent, and eventually heavy profits.
