Milanreports.com reports that Milan is close to hiring Markus Krösche, with negotiations between the clubs entering their final stage, pending agreement on compensation to release Krösche from his non-compete clause, estimated to be around €4 million. Verbal agreements have been reached, and financial terms between Krösche and Milan have been settled. Krösche's employment relationship with Eintracht Frankfurt is still in place despite being relieved of his duties.

Krösche is expected to officially join Milan on January 1, and his strategic work could begin as early as the preceding weeks, ahead of the winter transfer window. Milan is expected to make significant moves, potentially focusing on a centre-back, a right-sided player, and a backup for Gonçalo Ramos. The latter could be necessary if Camarda is loaned out to gain more playing time.

Gerry Cardinale has identified Krösche as the ideal candidate to strengthen Milan's management structure since last summer. Krösche is expected to identify and sign young talents and established players to build a competitive team, with a transfer-market philosophy focused on strategic sales to reinvest in higher-value players. It is also possible that Krösche's collaborator, Timmo Hardung, may join Milan.
