Reports: AC Milan Considering Fabio Paratici for Director Role in 2025

Italian media outlets La Repubblica and La Stampa are reporting that AC Milan is contemplating bringing in former Juventus and Tottenham director Fabio Paratici once his current ban concludes on June 30, 2025.

Paratici, who was forced to leave his position at Tottenham in 2023 due to a 30-month ban, may find a new opportunity with the Rossoneri next year. FIFA has since modified the terms of his suspension, allowing him to take on less prominent roles in football with reduced responsibilities until the ban’s expiration in 2025.

The timing of this potential move is notable, as the contract of Milan’s current technical director, Geoffrey Moncada, is set to expire on June 30, 2025 – the same date Paratici would be eligible to assume a new role in football.

Reports suggest that Milan’s owners, RedBird Capital Partners, are considering Paratici for the position of sporting director or head of the technical department. This comes at a time when Milan is currently operating without a sporting director, following the recent departure of Antonio D’Ottavio, reportedly due to disagreements with club advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The 52-year-old Paratici brings a wealth of experience from his time at Juventus and Tottenham. His potential appointment could signal a new direction for AC Milan’s transfer strategy and technical operations as they look to build on recent successes and compete at the highest levels of Italian and European football.

As the 2025 date approaches, football fans and pundits will be closely watching to see if these reports materialize into a significant move for both Paratici and AC Milan.
