Igli Tare is the new sporting director of Milan.

According to "Gazzetta dello Sport", the former Albanian footballer has just signed his new contract that will tie him to the red and black club.

Specifically, Tare has signed a three-year agreement with a salary of 800 thousand euros per year.

The official announcement from Milan will arrive in the coming hours, but will be presented to the media on Monday.

The "Tare" era begins at Milan on Monday

A new era will begin on Monday. Milan, after having closed the season, will open the 2025-2026 one with the official announcement of Igli Tare as sporting director. He is a traditional figure, while the red and black club has not had this position for two seasons.

Tare represents exactly this profile: for 15 years he was responsible for the sports sector at Lazio, an important reference for agents and players, who will often see him at "Milanello". An old-style sports director also in the way he works: he personally follows the transfer market, looks for talent everywhere, follows many matches live and analyzes footage and data.

The Milan of the future will return to this tradition starting next week, most likely on Monday, when the signing and formalization of the contract is expected. Tare will be Milan's sporting director for the next three years.

Tara's strategy: entry, exit, renewals

A lot of work awaits him from day one. Reinforcements are needed, at least 2 center backs, 1 midfielder and 1 new starting striker. These purchases could be increased if large sales occur, such as the case of Tijjani Reijnders.

Milan want to keep the Dutchman, as well as Pulisic, for whom a contract is being prepared until 2030. But if Manchester City make a dizzying offer for the Dutchman, it will be considered.

As for potential reinforcements, Tare highly values ​​Mario Gila (Lazio defender), whom he himself brought from the Real Madrid academy in 2022. The Albanian prefers players who know Serie A well, ideally also Italian, to increase the local presence in the red and black dressing room, currently represented only by Gabbia in the starting lineup.

Renovations in the foreground

Pulisic – Will wait until July to offer a new contract until 2030 for fiscal reasons. The American feels very good in Milan and there are no signs of leaving.

Maignan – The club has made him an offer for an extension with a salary increase, but there is still no response.

Theo Hernandez – The situation seems more delicate. Milan will not force a renewal and are open to selling him. The managers and the club are proposing him on the market. Even the risk of him leaving for free in 2026 does not particularly worry the club. Meanwhile, Tottenham's Udogye is being monitored as a potential replacement for the left-back.

In attack – The decision on the new coach is awaited; whether it will be Italiano, De Zerbi or Allegri. Depending on who is appointed, the striker's profile will change. Lucca (for physicality) and Ndoye (for fantasy) are among the names on Igli Tare's list.

Young people: confirmation and future

The renewals of two young players have also been made official: Bartesaghi (defender/left-back), Torriani (goalkeeper, made his Champions League debut against Liverpool). Both born in 2005 have signed with Milan until 2030.

Summary – With the arrival of Tara as sporting director, Milan is resuming a project based on experience, extensive contacts and direct management of the transfer market. The Albanian's first task? To appoint a new coach. Then, the purchases, sales and renewals, which will shape the Milan of the new season.
