"There are certain things that work in Tare's favour so far. For example, the outgoing transfers were a big plus: the Albanian got €40m for Malick Thiaw, €20m for Theo Hernandez, €20m for Noah Okafor and other sales were completed to help the accounts with no Champions League revenues."
"Two other factors favour the former Lazio chief. The first is that his relationship with the head coach Massimiliano Allegri is strong, and the second is that the results on the field have been much better since the duo took charge of the sporting side."
"The incoming business however was a different story, leading to 'friction' with Giorgio Furlani. The CEO remains unsure about spending nearly €40m on Christopher Nkunku and Ardon Jashari, as well as the investment on players such as Pervis Estupinan."
Igli Tare was hired by AC Milan last summer to fill the sporting director role vacated by Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara. His outgoing transfers generated significant revenue, including €40m for Malick Thiaw, €20m for Theo Hernandez, and €20m for Noah Okafor, helping offset lost Champions League income. Tare maintains a strong relationship with head coach Massimiliano Allegri, and on-field results have improved under their management. However, friction has emerged with CEO Giorgio Furlani over incoming transfers, particularly the €40m spending on Christopher Nkunku and Ardon Jashari, plus investments in players like Pervis Estupinan. The failed Jean-Philippe Mateta deal, led by Furlani without consulting Tare and Allegri, highlighted management disconnects during the winter transfer window. His future will be assessed at season's end.
