AC Milan is considering Devin Özek as a potential addition to their management team. Özek, 31, has experience working with top clubs, most recently as technical director at Fenerbahce. His journey in football began with Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, where he impressed the club's CEO, Simon Rolfes, with an email highlighting young players of interest.

Özek's approach to club management focuses on the club's identity and system, rather than individual managers leading transfer decisions. This philosophy aligns with Özek's experience in player recruitment, having successfully brought in high-level players like Alex Grimaldo and Ederson to Leverkusen and Fenerbahce, respectively.

Özek's potential appointment could see him work alongside Markus Krösche, although reports suggest Krösche prefers to bring in Timmo Hardung. Despite this, Özek remains a strong candidate, bringing a fresh perspective to the Rossoneri's management.

With his record in negotiations and player recruitment, Özek could play a crucial role in shaping Milan's future, bringing in top talent to fit the club's vision and system.
