Milan targets Hardung and secures agreement with Krösche

Summary

AC Milan is once again pursuing Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Timmo Hardung while negotiating with Markus Krösche, who recently left his role at Frankfurt. Previous attempts to hire Hardung and Krösche in June were unsuccessful as Frankfurt was reluctant to release them ahead of the summer transfer window. Reports indicate that Milan and Krösche have reached an agreement in principle regarding his salary, though Eintracht Frankfurt seeks €5m-€7m compensation for his premature departure. Milan's search for a sporting director continues, with current personnel Hendrick Almstadt and Bobby Gardiner handling player transactions and transfer analysis, respectively.
