The relationship between Zlatan Ibrahimović and Massimiliano Allegri has reportedly hit rock bottom, with the two football giants no longer on speaking terms. According to journalist Monica Colombo, the tension at AC Milan has been simmering beneath the surface for some time, and it's now boiling over into a full-blown rift.
"Everything happening around Milan is rather turbulent," Colombo told Corriere della Sera and the Milan Vibes YouTube channel. "The squad environment has inevitably been shaken by these internal tensions. While results were good, the dust was swept under the carpet. But old resentments have resurfaced at the first opportunity."
Colombo's report paints a picture of a club splitting into factions, with Ibrahimović and Allegri at the center of the storm. The Swede hasn't been seen in the dressing rooms at San Siro or Milanello for about three months, and there have been no face-to-face meetings to resolve the situation. "In this moment, the two are not speaking, and continuing this way is not possible," she added.
The immediate flashpoint? A dispute over the choice of third goalkeeper for next season. But Colombo insists that was just a pretext. The real issue runs much deeper.
More concerning is Allegri's reported anger over Ibrahimović's direct contact with players Rafael Leão and Youssouf Fofana. According to the report, the former striker gave the duo tactical advice that directly contradicted the coach's instructions in training. For a manager like Allegri, who demands discipline and authority, this was a serious breach.
To make matters worse, news of Ibrahimović's ongoing conversations with Antonio Cassano has done little to calm the atmosphere. As the drama unfolds, Milan fans are left wondering how this internal power struggle will affect the squad's unity—and their performance on the pitch.
