AC Milan are making progress in their bid to appoint Markus Krösche as their new Head of Football. Despite suggestions from Germany that Eintracht Frankfurt had not been in contact with the club, sources close to the Rossoneri indicate that negotiations are underway. Krösche has given his approval to join Milan and the two clubs are now discussing the terms of his release.

Krösche is expected to bring Timmo Hardung, a technical director, to Milan as part of his package. The German executive will work alongside new coach Ruben Amorim, with whom Krösche has already had contact. This development suggests that Milan's recruitment plans are falling into place.

Milan's US owner Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimović are set to play a key role in finalizing the deal. The Germans are awaiting a call from the Milan duo to discuss the transfer.

The appointment of Krösche and Hardung would signal a significant shift in Milan's strategy, with a greater emphasis on identifying and developing young talent.
