AC Milan are closing in on a deal to bring in Markus Krösche as their new sporting director. The German has reportedly agreed a contract with the club and is waiting for Eintracht Frankfurt to give their green light. According to sources, Krösche has been instrumental in choosing the club's new coach, Ruben Amorim, and the two have a shared vision for the team's future.

The only stumbling block is the indemnity fee Eintracht Frankfurt are demanding, but Milan are confident of resolving the issue. The German club have expressed frustration at the leak of negotiations, but it seems to be a tactical move. Milan are expecting to pay a lower fee than initially reported, with some sources suggesting it could be significantly less than the rumored €7 million.

Krösche's appointment would mark a significant coup for Milan, who have been working tirelessly to revamp their technical staff. The club have already agreed a deal with Amorim, who is set to sign a two-year contract with an option for a third. The Portuguese coach is expected to put pen to paper in the coming days.

Milan's efforts to strengthen their team both on and off the pitch are gathering pace, with Krösche's arrival set to be a major boost to the club's sporting ambitions.
