The director of sport at AC Milan, Igli Tare, has thrown down the gauntlet with a declaration that carries the weight of tradition. He insists that for a club of Milan. �s stature, chasing the Scudetto is not a mere aspiration but a sacred duty. Speaking exclusively to GoalZaza, Tare made it clear that the Rossoneri must give a good account of themselves in the title race, reminding all that the powers that be at the San Siro expect nothing less than a formidable challenge for the league crown. In the scheme of things, he argued, the lion. �s share of responsibility falls on the players and the technical crew to bring silverware back to the fashion capital of Italy. Tare. �s comments come on the heels of a season where Milan have shown flashes of brilliance but also frustrating inconsistency. The Albanian born director, who has built a reputation as a shrewd operator in the transfer market, also weighed in on the persistent rumours linking Real Madrid legend Luka Modric with a move to Serie A. With a wry smile, he admitted that convincing a player of Modric. �s calibre is far easier than convincing the world that Milan should settle for anything less than the Scudetto.. �At the end of the day,. � Tare told GoalZaza,. �a footballer of Modric. �s quality understands the project. It is the duty of the club, not the player, to dream big.. � The Nigerian angle is not lost on keen observers. With Super Eagles talisman Victor Osimhen continuing to terrorise defences across Europe and Victor Boniface making waves in the Bundesliga, many local supporters are watching the Italian top flight with heightened interest. Should Milan strengthen their squad with a player of Modric. �s pedigree, it could alter the balance of power in a league that already boasts the clinical finishing of Osimhen at Napoli. In the viewing centres dotted across Surulere and Ikeja, fans would be shaking their heads in admiration, muttering that if Milan land Modric, they will be a different beast entirely, the kind of beast that demands respect on the pitch. Tare. �s words have already ignited debate among the Rossoneri faithful. For the Nigerian football lover watching on a big screen in a crowded hall in Lagos, this is the kind of statement that signals intent. They would clap and shout,. �That is how a big club should talk!. � knowing full well that in the treacherous waters of Serie A, talk is cheap but duty is eternal.
