AC Milan's reported pursuit of Markus Krösche appears to have hit a significant roadblock. Eintracht Frankfurt chairman Mathias Beck has stated that there has been no contact from Milan regarding Krösche's potential transfer. Beck also revealed that Krösche has shown no indication of wanting to leave Eintracht before his contract expires in 2028.

Krösche has been linked to Milan due to his desire for complete control over football operations, which could be on offer with a 'Head of Football' role. This position would potentially allow him to hire his own technical director, giving him significant influence over the club's sporting decisions.

Despite reports suggesting a deal was close to being finalized, Beck's comments suggest that there is still a long way to go. Negotiations can still occur before official steps are taken, but it seems that Milan's interest may not be as advanced as previously thought.

The development is a setback for Milan, who are likely looking to strengthen their front office ahead of the new season. The club's efforts to bring in Krösche will likely continue, but Eintracht's stance makes it clear that they will not let him go without a fight.
