Iraola Nears Milan with Preliminary Agreement on Contract and Salary

AC Milan is close to reaching a final agreement with Spanish coach Andoni Iraola to take over the team's management starting from the next season.

According to Italian reports, Milan has already succeeded in reaching an agreement with Iraola regarding the salary and contract duration, marking a very advanced step in the ongoing negotiations between the two parties.

The sources indicated that the coming hours will witness new communications between the Rossoneri management and the Spanish coach, as Iraola wishes to gain a clearer picture regarding the sports project and the team's reinforcement plan before giving his final approval.

The transfer market file is one of the key points discussed by the coach with the management, especially since AC Milan's expected budget will be relatively limited, estimated at only between 30 and 35 million euros, after the team finished the season in fifth place and did not secure significant financial returns from the Champions League.

Despite the economic constraints, the Milan management believes that Iraola is suitable for the next phase due to his modern attacking style, his ability to develop young players, and his capability to work within long-term projects.

The Spanish coach caught attention during his recent stint in the English Premier League, making him a target for several European clubs before AC Milan advanced in the race to sign him.
