Milan, transfer market rumours: Tony D’Amico heading towards the role of Sporting Director
From rumours circulating in agents’ circles, an intriguing scenario is emerging regarding the future of AC Milan. According to information gathered by those who work daily in close contact with Serie A clubs, next June could bring a revolution in the managerial and technical structure of the Rossoneri club.
D’Amico: Furlani’s dream could come true
The name that keeps coming up is that of Tony D’Amico, the highly regarded current Sporting Director of Atalanta. This is not entirely new: last season too, CEO Giorgio Furlani had attempted to bring him to Milan, but the Bergamo club had stood firm, refusing to let go of a key figure in their structure, especially during the sensitive period of the separation from Gian Piero Gasperini — who subsequently joined Roma.
This time, however, the situation could be different. The relationship between Furlani and D’Amico is solid and established, and Milan’s interest is concrete and renewed. According to reports, the director could replace Igli Tare in the Rossoneri’s sporting structure, a change that would mark a significant shift in the club’s transfer market management and sporting planning.
Giuntoli to Atalanta: the cascade scenario
The hypothetical scenario is that of a genuine domino effect across Serie A’s managerial landscape: should D’Amico leave Bergamo for Milan, his replacement at Atalanta could be Cristiano Giuntoli, the current Juventus director. A fascinating intertwining that, if confirmed, would reshape the balance of power at the top of Italian football.
Vincenzo Italiano returns as a name for the bench
But the possible change at sporting level is not the only development. According to the same sources, D’Amico’s potential arrival would also bring a change in Milan’s technical leadership. Massimiliano Allegri, the current Milan coach, could leave the club at the end of the season, regardless of whether the club qualifies for the Champions League.
The profile identified by Furlani as the ideal successor would be that of Vincenzo Italiano, the Bologna manager who has already proven his ability to build a modern, proactive style of play. He is not a new name at Milan either: the Sicilian coach had already been courted in the past, before renewing with the Bologna club. His philosophy of attacking football and his ability to develop young players make him an interesting profile for a Milan that wants to return to the forefront in Italy and in Europe.
One cycle closing, a new one that could open
It should be noted that Milan over the last three transfer windows — including both winter and summer sessions in recent years — has carried out a very high number of incoming and outgoing operations, a sign of a deep transformation phase in the squad. Each change has brought new challenges of integration and adjustment, but has also demonstrated the club’s willingness not to stand still and to build something solid for the future.
Milan has three matches left in the season to define its final league position. What happens in the transfer market and in management will certainly also be influenced by results on the pitch — all the more reason to push hard until the final whistle and show that this team still has a lot to say.
What is certain is that Milan’s future is being built now, with ambitious choices and the desire to return to the top of European football. Whatever direction is taken, ownership and management have shown their willingness to invest significantly to bring the Rossoneri back where they deserve to be.
