Report: Ibrahimovic gave Milan duo Leao & Fofana contrasting advice to Allegri

The relationship between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Massimiliano Allegri has deteriorated to the point of a complete breakdown, with the pair understood not to have spoken for some time as internal tensions at Milan continue to bubble to the surface, according to journalist Monica Colombo.

Writing in Corriere della Sera and expanding on her findings in an interview with the Milan Vibes YouTube channel, via MilanNews.it, Colombo painted a picture of a club divided into factions, with results having previously papered over the cracks.

“Everything happening around Milan is rather turbulent,” she said. “The squad environment has inevitably been shaken by the various internal tensions. What is happening is that Milan is splitting into currents, while results were useful, the dust had been swept under the carpet, but old tensions resurfaced at the first opportunity.”
