Giorgio Furlani will not stay with the AC Milan squad for the rest of their tour of the United States because he has returned to Italy, a report claims.
According to what MilanNews are reporting, Furlani has returned to Milan from the USA to closely follow the transfer negotiations. The CEO left last Thursday for New York together with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paulo Fonseca’s team and attended the 3-2 win over Manchester City.
However, he is back in Italy to continue working on the mercato alongside technical director Geoffrey Moncada, and the reason for his return is probably because he has approval powers when it comes to signings and sales, in addition to owner Gerry Cardinale of course.
While in the US, Furlani was interviewed by Bloomberg TV and he said: “Our ambition is to fight for the Scudetto every year and to be competitive in the Champions League too. Now we want to do it by implementing a sustainability strategy.
“I’ll give you an example: two years ago the balance sheet for the first time in 17 years did not record any losses, and last year we repeated this important result, and I don’t think anything like this has ever happened to Milan.
“We are not forced to sell players due to a lack of capital or cash flow problems, so we don’t need to sell anyone. So as a fan I can tell you that you don’t have to worry about Maignan and Theo.”
Milan’s second signing of the summer should be Strahinja Pavlovic from Red Bull Salzburg, but the management will not stop there and continue to work on three fronts, to add at least one midfielder and a right-back.
