Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis is set to join AC Milan in September as a new executive director at the club.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the Arsenal chief will make the move to Italy after they earmarked the 53-year-old as a prime target.
Milan are set for drastic changes on and off the pitch following the takeover by U.S. hedge fund Elliott Management.
Gazidis will join the club and Umberto Gandini will also arrive as a vice-executive director.
The new owners are looking to make a stamp on the club and have former Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte lined up to replace Gennaro Gattuso.
Gazidis has been at Arsenal since 2009 and has been a controversial figure at times, with decisions made behind the scenes.
It was Gazidis that played a key role in changing the structure at the Emirates that would eventually see Arsene Wenger step down as first-team manager.
