Furious at the catastrophic end of AC Milan’s season, the owner of the Rossoneri cleaned house by dismissing no less than four managers: CEO Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare, coach Massimiliano Allegri and technical director Geoffrey Moncada. The Rossoneri want to start from scratch, aware that they will have to compensate in particular for the shortfall linked to non-qualification in the Champions League.
However, the Lombards don’t want to just throw away anything. Criticized by fans, the owner’s advisor, Zlatan Ibrahimović, is still in place and has been entrusted with the mission of finding the new coach. And as for the squad, Milan wants to clean up, but certain profiles remain appreciated. This is the case, for example, of veteran Luka Modríc (40 years old). The Croatian’s future would have been assured in the event of qualification in C1. But here the question inevitably arises.
Milan wants to know
Free from any contract in the days to come, the former Merengue would still like to stay. He feels good in Italy and AC Milan could be convinced by the idea of keeping such an experienced player, even for the Europa League. Finally, one of the cases that is causing a lot of talk at San Siro is the future of Adrien Rabiot. Thrown out by OM almost a year ago, the 31-year-old midfielder bounced back at AC Milan to follow in the footsteps of his mentor, Massimiliano Allegri. Between the two men, the relationship is almost close and doubts about the Frenchman’s future quickly arose as soon as the possibility of Allegri being disembarked in the event of failure in the race for the C1 was raised by the Italian press.
The sad scenario was subsequently confirmed and Rabiot’s future was therefore logically announced as uncertain. However, the Gazzetta dello Sport explains that AC Milan is counting on the former Marseillais. The Rossoneri are in no rush to sell a player whose contract runs until 2028, but the pink paper daily explains that the future Milanese leaders will quickly call the player to find out his intentions and hope that he will always be motivated. Will Rabiot remain loyal to Milan? Or will he seek to follow Allegri in his new challenge (insistently announced at Napoli)?
