AC Milan are closing in on being able to announce the crucial renewal of chief scout Geoffrey Moncada, according to a report.
The work of Moncada has rightly been widely praised, given the former Monaco scout – who discovered talents such as Kylian Mbappe – has been largely responsible for identifying hidden gems like Pierre Kalulu and more recently Malick Thiaw, who have become established starters despite arriving on bargain deals.
According to Calciomercato.com, Gerry Cardinale and RedBird know that Moncada’s work is crucial and for this reason they have decided to speed up his renewal, which is now one step away from becoming official.
Moncada was highly regarded by the previous owners Elliott Management and that opinion remains unchanged with the new owners, who have reached an agreement with Moncada to extend his contract which otherwise would have ended in July.
There was interest from clubs abroad who were monitoring Moncada’s situation, but instead his adventure with the Rossoneri is destined to continue.
Most important renewal by far.
Thank You Elliot, Gazidis for bringing him to Milan and thank you RedBird for keeping him at Milan. Hopefully he gets more say in the players signed than he has had so far.
I agree, If you let Moncada leave you better close the shop, he clearly knows what it does and he does it better than anyone of us sitting behind a desk.
Pioli and Moncada are on fire
