Milan have been through a tense few weeks at the club, with reports in the Italian media suggesting a rift between key figures at the Rossoneri. According to these reports, the relationship between coach Massimiliano Allegri and Zlatan Ibrahimovic has deteriorated significantly, to the point where the parties have come close to a physical altercation.
The statement of the well-known journalist of "Corriere della Sera", Monica Colombo, who has been following developments at Milan for years and is considered a reliable source on the affairs of the Italian club, has returned to the spotlight. She had revealed that the tension between Allegri and Ibrahimovic had erupted during a meeting in a restaurant, where the club's administrators were also present.
" The rift between Allegri and Ibrahimovic, which has its roots far back in time, occurred in a restaurant in the presence of Furlani and Tara, with the latter being forced to physically separate the coach and the Swede ," Colombo declared, referring to sources close to the red and black club.
According to her, relations between the two figures had been almost severed for months.
" As far as I know, Ibrahimovic has not been seen in the locker room at the stadium or club for three months. To get closer, a confrontation between him and Allegri was needed, which never happened. The parties are not talking and continuing in this way is impossible ," the journalist said.
Colombo added that clashes have also arisen over sporting issues, although they are considered more as a pretext for old tensions between the parties.
" One of the points of contention was over the third goalkeeper to be placed in the team for next season, but it was simply a pretext to revive old tension ," she said.
The Italian journalist also revealed that Allegri had not welcomed Ibrahimovic's closeness with Antonio Cassano, while the situation has been further strained by the Swede's contacts with several players on the team.
" When Allegri learned about the contacts that Ibra had with Cassano, it didn't help. Just as it didn't help that Ibra contacted Leao and Fofana, giving them different tactical advice than what the coach gave him in training ," Colombo concluded.
The reports have increased suspicions about a tense climate within Milan, in a delicate period for the red and black club.
