AC Milan's pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt executives Markus Krosche and Timmo Hardung has hit a snag. The German club is now demanding a significant indemnity from Milan before allowing the duo to leave. This development comes after an initial verbal agreement had been reached with both Krosche and Hardung.

Milan sees Krosche and Hardung as top-tier candidates to bolster their managerial structure, and the club had seemingly made considerable progress in negotiations. However, Eintracht's insistence on protecting its sporting project and the presence of existing contracts complicate matters. The Bundesliga side is not willing to let its key figures depart easily.

The indemnity demand could potentially derail the talks, which had appeared to be on a positive trajectory. Milan must now decide whether to meet Eintracht's financial demands or explore alternative solutions to strengthen their managerial team.

The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the outcome of this situation, with Milan's leadership likely to weigh their options carefully.
