"Fabio Paratici was not even a step away from joining AC Milan this year; it seemed like it was probably even closer than that. However, the move never happened. The hiring of a sporting director was a tale. Igli Tare met with Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in London. It seemed like he had the job, and then Giorgio Furlani took control of the situation, and what followed was a messy few weeks. Paratici almost got the job, but the final signatures never arrived, and Milan continued to look."
"Tony D'Amico and Giovanni Sartori were both liked. However, Furlani eventually returned to Tare. So far, the Tare era has been positive, and whilst the mercato still had a few talking points, most look at it positively. However, the hopes for him were certainly low, considering the lengths that the Rossoneri went to looking for someone else. Today, Paratici spoke to Sky Sport about his failed move back to Italy, and MilanNews have relayed his words. "We were very close. Then, if the marriage wasn't completely concluded, I don't know why. Diplomatic? No, I'm not, and I'm not getting any better at it. But I can't stand there wondering why, after everything I've been through, if this influenced a club's decisions.""
Fabio Paratici came very close to joining AC Milan as sporting director, but the transfer collapsed before final signatures were exchanged. Igli Tare met Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in London and appeared to secure the role, but Giorgio Furlani took control of the process and triggered several chaotic weeks. Milan considered other candidates such as Tony D'Amico and Giovanni Sartori while Furlani ultimately reverted to Tare. The Tare era has shown positive early results despite low expectations after the prolonged search. Paratici expressed frustration at not knowing why the deal failed and questioned whether his past influenced the decision.
