The Rossoneri challenge is very complex. The possibility of continuing in England. Crystal Palace’s transfer budget. Let’s see what currently divides the Basque coach from RedBird

Journalist

May 27 – 1.23pm – MILAN

The Rossoneri is the same, the world is not. Andoni Iraola has the possibility of moving from Bournemouth to Milan, which put it at the top of the list in the search for the coach for next season: shirt with the same stripes and the same colors. However, the move from one club to another would be a double somersault and Iraola has doubts. This is why the deal didn’t close. For this reason, he risks jumping.

WHY THE PALACE AND NOT MILAN

In recent weeks Iraola has also been sought by other clubs. Leverkusen in Germany. Benfica in Portugal. Crystal Palace in the Premier League. The last one is the great opponent for Milan. In early 2000s football, no coach would have ever had doubts about choosing between Milan and fifteenth in the latest Premier League table, but the world has changed and the issue now arises. Iraola is not convinced of the AC Milan challenge, a very complex adventure, to be built from scratch with new management, new players, in a championship he has not attended. Crystal Palace instead offers him to continue working in the Premier League, not to move his family from England and to go on the transfer market with an ambitious budget. In the Basque Country, Iraola’s place of origin, even this morning people are writing about a transfer budget triple that of Milan’s. A fact to be verified but certainly not impossible, considering the firepower of the Premier clubs on the market.

rangnick for the sports area

And then, we have to wait. How much? Certainly, until tonight, when Crystal Palace will play the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano in Leipzig. Glasner, the Palace coach, has already made it known that he will not continue at the club and may also become a candidate for the Milan bench. In parallel, it is worth following the evolution of the dialogue between Cardinale-Ibrahimovic and Ralf Rangnick, the one chosen for the role of head of the sports area. The three met yesterday in Vienna and talked. Everyone, like Iraola, now has some reflections to do. An impression? At the end of this week, at least one name – the new Milan coach or the new head of the sports area – will be out in the open.
