Paratici: Ex-Juve and Tottenham director meets Furlani in London for Milan talks

Milan have been without a sporting director for all of the calendar year after the departure of Antonio D'Ottavio in December.
The Rossoneri have been actively seeking a replacement for several weeks, with Paratici and former Lazio director Igli Tare the preferred candidates in over that time-span.

According to Tuesday's reports from Gianluca Di Marzio, Paratici is now the firm favourite to take over as Milan's sporting director, and is currently meeting with CEO Furlani in London to discuss the project.
Paratici is reportedly Milan's 'chosen' option for sporting director, but does not currently have an agreement in place in personal terms. That could potentially change by the end of the day, and possibly by the end of Tuesday's meeting in London.

Paratici has been out of work for the last two years, following his suspension as a result of an investigation into fictitious capital gains during his time with Juventus, confirmation of which arrived in March 2023.
Paratici resigned from his position as director of football with Tottenham in April 2023 when his appeal to FIFA was rejected.
