CM: New attempt and the last-minute option – Milan’s director pursuit drags on | OneFootball

Giorgio Furlani is not giving up on the idea of hiring Tony D’Amico from Atalanta, a report claims, and he intends to try until the end.

The soap opera regarding Milan’s pursuit of a new sporting director does not yet have an ending. As Calciomercato.com report, the CEO Furlani is keeping in touch with the various candidates but has not yet made the final move.

While Gerry Cardinale was meeting Fabio Paratici again (he will remain with Spurs in the end), Furlani was planning a contact with Atalanta for Tony D’Amico, despite the words of La Dea’s CEO Luca Percassi in recent days.

“For us he is a fundamental figure, beyond the presumed interests that there may be. He is our sporting director and next year he will have the task of creating a competitive Atalanta,” he said, aiming to shut the door in Milan’s face.

D’Amico: new attempt expected

D’Amico remains the Rossoneri’s first choice but he is under contract until 2027, with an option in favour of the club for another season, so they can essentially have him under control for another three years.

This plays in Atalanta’s favour, but the CEO will try to negotiate with the Bergamo club and hopes for Gian Piero Gasperini to stay, because he could soften the Nerazzurri’s position.

It is expected that the issue will continue beyond the end of the season, scheduled for May 25, but Milan cannot run the risk of being left with nobody. Igli Tare remains a possibility to take into consideration, probably ‘last-minute’, but first another attempt for D’Amico will be made.
