While Milan work urgently to shape their future sporting structure, there is still a chapter from the recent past that needs a clean resolution: the situation surrounding Massimiliano Allegri. The former Rossoneri head coach, whose relationship with the club came to an abrupt end as part of the sweeping revolution ordered by Gerry Cardinale, has yet to reach a final agreement with the club over his departure.
The severance pay request
According to available information, Allegri is seeking approximately €1 million in severance pay to settle his contract with Milan by mutual consent. Beyond the financial dimension itself, the figure carries a specific practical purpose: it would formally release the Tuscan manager, allowing him to sign with another club free of any legal ties or contractual obligations with the Rossoneri.
And the club waiting in the wings is Napoli. The union between Allegri and the Neapolitan club appears to be largely settled in its broad strokes — what remains is primarily the resolution of the bureaucratic and legal matters still linking him to Milan. To that end, meetings between the lawyers of both parties are expected, with the aim of reaching a swift and mutually agreeable settlement.
A separation that requires careful handling
The matter is not straightforward. A potential dispute between Allegri and Milan — involving lawyers and possible legal proceedings — could easily become an unwelcome media story for both sides, at a time when the club already has more than enough open files on its desk. The shared intention appears to be to reach an amicable agreement that satisfies the manager’s demands and allows Milan to fully turn the page.

Milan look ahead with determination: closing this chapter on good terms will be the first step towards channelling all energies into building the new sporting project.
