AC Milan's plans to appoint Ruben Amorim as their new coach have hit a roadblock. Sport director Markus Krösche is a key figure in Amorim's current club Sporting CP and will need to be convinced to let him leave. The German executive is reportedly keen on keeping Amorim, who has been instrumental in the club's success. A significant compensation package will be required to secure Amorim's release.

Krösche's role at Sporting CP has been crucial in their recent performances, with the club enjoying a resurgence under Amorim's guidance. The Portuguese coach has implemented an attractive brand of football, catching the eye of several top clubs, including AC Milan. However, Sporting CP are reluctant to lose their manager and will not make it easy for the Rossoneri.

AC Milan are said to be preparing a substantial offer to tempt Sporting CP into selling Amorim. The Italian club are keen on appointing the 39-year-old, who has a reputation for developing young players and playing an exciting brand of football. It remains to be seen whether Krösche will be willing to part ways with his prized asset.

The situation will be closely watched by Milan fans, who are eager to see their team return to the top. With several top coaches being linked to the club, the Rossoneri will need to act quickly to secure their top target.
