Milan is interested in former Atlanta director Congton, who has excavated Lukeman Ederson Hoylen

May 18th According to the "Milan Sports" report, Milan is interested in former Atlanta director Congton, who has led the competition. He has excavated many players in Atlanta, including Lukeman, Ederson and Hoylen.

51-year-old Congton has held youth training positions in Wrexham, Liverpool and Chelsea. When playing for Chelsea, Congton also served as the chief scout. He later moved to the Bundesliga, where he served as the technical director of Hamburg, and led to the signing of the talented teenager Celhanoglu who was still in Germany and C.

Congton has also served as athletic director for Sunderland, Celtics and Leicester City. In March 2022, Congton joined Atlanta, and in the summer of that year he personally introduced Lukeman. In addition, Congton also led the signing of Ederson and Hoylen in Atlanta, who moved to Manchester United at a premium of up to 50 million euros after playing in Atlanta alone. In February 2024, Congton left Atlanta to join Saudi Arabia's Jeddah Nationals to discover young talents.

Now in the competition for sporting directors in Milan, Congton has become the leader. With his international background and rich experience, Congton is an ideal candidate for Milan. Although other candidates are still being evaluated, the Ross and Blacks will make a final decision and announce their appointment after the league is over.

No matter who ends up losing, Milan's new sports director will shoulder the heavy responsibility because he must lead the team's reconstruction, starting from the coaching candidates to the choice of the existing lineup, and it needs to decide who should stay and who should sell it.

In addition, Milan has important contract renewal issues to be resolved. Both Teo and Menion are facing the expiration of contracts, especially Teo. If they do not accept salary cuts, Milan will be forced to consider selling him, but who is the buyer? With only one year left before the contract expires, how much more benefits can Special Olympics bring to the club? And are these benefits enough for team reconstruction? These questions will be answered by the next sports director.
