TeleLombardia: Mercato ‘division’ – the key figure behind each Milan signing since the summer

One of the constant themes in recent weeks and months has been the assigning of certain signings to one or multiple directors.

As we wrote about in a feature last night, there has been quite a lot of negative press surrounding Milan despite the obvious on-field improvements plus the fact that Igli Tare and Massimiliano Allegri have only been here for a few months.

Earlier this week, Calciomercato.com spoke of ‘internal frictions’ within the Milan management, above all between the sporting director Tare and the CEO Giorgio Furlani, who have disagreed over various signings.

‘The division of the mercato’

Now, TeleLombardia have gone one further by creating a list of the signings that Milan have made since the summer and naming who the main figure was behind each.

They claim that Furlani was the one who wanted to sign Samuele Ricci and Pervis Estupinan. Tare was the architect of the Luka Modric, Ardon Jashari, Christopher Nkunku, Zachary Athekame and Niclas Füllkrug deals.

The technical director Geoffrey Moncada was the main endorser of the David Odogu coup, while Allegri – as is well known – strongly pushed to reunite with Adrien Rabiot. Interestingly, they state that the addition of Koni De Winter from Genoa was one that Tare, Allegri and Fulani all agreed upon.

How much truth there is to this only those inside the walls of Casa Milan know, but if there is even a crumb of fact to it, these differences must be ironed out before a huge summer mercato.
