Zlatan Ibrahimovic has faced heavy criticism and could leave AC Milan in the summer. He is accused of going over Massimiliano Allegri’s head, and the situation has left him frustrated about continuing the working relationship. Gerry Cardinale may need to make a decision. Current reporting indicates Cardinale would side with Allegri if a choice had to be made immediately, with strong appreciation for the manager shared by Allegri and Ibrahimovic. If Cardinale supports Allegri’s wishes, AC Milan could aim to compete for the Scudetto. Separating from Ibrahimovic may be difficult because he has personal investments in RedBird, but it is still considered solvable. The prospect of strengthening Ibrahimovic at Casa Milan has weakened, with a move toward a background role more likely.
"In fact, the Italian is so frustrated by the ordeal that it would appear that he is not willing to continue working together. So, Gerry Cardinale may be forced to make a decision."
"According to Il Giornale (via MilanNews), the American would currently side with the manager if the decision had to be made today. He has a great appreciation for Allegri - which is shared by the Italian, too - and this could strengthen the plans for the summer."
"Indeed, if Cardinale is willing to support Allegri's wishes for the summer, they could look to compete for the Scudetto. There may be some difficulties separating from Ibra, considering he has personal investments in RedBird. However, this should still be solvable."
"In any way, it seems that in the space of a week, the idea of Ibrahimovic being strengthened at Casa Milan has crumbled. Instead, he may only be heading towards a permanent place in the background."
