Iraola nears Milan with preliminary agreement on contract and salary

AC Milan are close to finalising an agreement with Spanish coach Andoni Iraola to take charge next season, with Italian reports indicating that salary and contract terms have already been settled. The next hours are expected to bring further discussions, as Iraola wants a clearer understanding of the sporting project and the club’s reinforcement strategy before providing full approval. One of the key topics is the transfer budget, which is projected to be limited to thirty to thirty‑five million euros after Milan finished fifth and missed major Champions League revenue.

Despite financial constraints, the club believes Iraola fits the next phase thanks to his modern attacking approach, his ability to develop young talent and his comfort working within long‑term structures. His impressive spell in the Premier League attracted interest from several European clubs, but Milan have moved ahead in the race, convinced he can guide the team through a new cycle.
