Moggi Shines a Light on AC Milan’s Internal Chaos
Luciano Moggi, former Juventus general director and a figure long close to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has made explosive statements to the newspaper Libero, confirming what many Rossoneri fans had feared for months: AC Milan is gripped by an armed peace, built on underground tensions and silences louder than any public statement.
“At the moment, inside Milan there is a sort of armed peace — Moggi declared — where everyone talks behind each other’s backs without saying to each other’s face what they really think, except for Allegri and Ibrahimovic, who have fallen out and no longer see each other.”
Weighty words, which carry even more significance given the direct relationship the former Juventus executive maintains with the Swede: Moggi and Ibra are in regular contact, which makes his statements not mere speculation, but a genuine reflection of what is happening behind the doors of Casa Milan.
Allegri in the Crosshairs After the Split With Ibra
According to Moggi, ever since the rift between Massimiliano Allegri and Zlatan Ibrahimovic became apparent, the Livorno-born manager has become an internal target. And yet Allegri had set a clear, concrete goal from day one: Champions League qualification. A target that, if achieved, would represent the minimum requirement demanded by the club, regardless of the ups and downs encountered along the way.
The team has had to fight hard to secure at least fourth place, with inconsistent performances that have tested the patience of the fanbase. But the direction is set, and Milan are still in contention. The Champions League objective remains alive, and it is on that basis that this group’s work must be assessed.
The Furlani Issue: Between Finance and the Transfer Market
The real structural theme emerging from Moggi’s words, however, concerns the role of Giorgio Furlani. The Rossoneri CEO is described as the true manager of transfer operations, beyond the technical figures nominally assigned to that task. A situation that, according to multiple sources, generates decision-making short circuits and limits the operational freedom of those who should be building the squad on the pitch.
Moggi is blunt: Furlani should focus exclusively on the financial side, leaving sporting decisions to those with the expertise and the mandate to make them. When the two spheres overlap, confusion is almost inevitably the result — and Milan’s recent years are the clearest proof of that.
From the departure of Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, through Stefano Pioli’s exit, to the managerial changes with Fonseca and then Conceição, Milan has reinvented itself every year without ever changing its system. And without a solid system, every summer risks becoming a new episode of chaos.
“Positive thinking creates positive results” — and Milan has every resource to finally build a structure worthy of its history.
