AC Milan's pursuit of Markus Krösche as their new Head of Football has gained momentum. Krösche, currently a key figure at Eintracht Frankfurt, is expected to join the Rossoneri in a role above technical director. His appointment seems imminent, but not without certain conditions. Krösche wants complete control over the footballing side of the project, essentially seeking 'carte blanche on everything'.

Krösche's first move would be to bring Timmo Hardung with him, with whom he has a successful working relationship at Eintracht Frankfurt. This request for complete autonomy might raise some eyebrows, especially after Ralf Rangnick claimed he never asked for full control. However, it appears Milan are willing to meet Krösche's demands. The German's influence on transfer decisions and club restructuring could be significant.

Krösche's potential impact on AC Milan's transfer policy and squad planning is substantial. His experience in identifying and developing talent could prove invaluable. The Rossoneri are likely to give him a significant role in shaping the team's future, both on and off the pitch.

The deal could progress soon, with Gerry Cardinale seemingly open to Krösche's conditions. This development could signal a new era for AC Milan, with a focus on strategic planning and smart recruitment.
