The conspicuous absence of Zlatan Ibrahimović and Geoffrey Moncada from the stands during Milan’s away victory at Genoa has fueled speculation regarding their future roles within the club. This comes as owner Gerry Cardinale prepares for significant changes at the club this summer.
Cardinale was present at the Stadio Ferraris as Milan secured a vital 2-1 win against Genoa, solidifying their top-four position with only one match remaining in the season. However, according to Sky Sport Italia, both Senior Advisor Ibrahimović and chief scout Moncada were notably absent from the stadium, intensifying discussions about their potential departures.
Reports suggest that Ibrahimović had a disagreement with coach Massimiliano Allegri shortly before Sunday’s match, and the former striker’s position at the club is reportedly under review. Similarly, Igli Tare is widely expected to leave Milan at the season’s end. Despite this, Tare was seen seated near Cardinale, and CEO Giorgio Furlani, who has faced criticism from fans, also attended the match.
Sky Sport indicates that Cardinale will make critical decisions following the final game against Cagliari. These decisions are expected to lead to changes in the club’s leadership. If Ibrahimović remains with Milan, it is highly probable that coach Allegri will depart, especially given his reportedly strained relationship with Furlani. Consequently, the certainty of anyone retaining their position for the 2026-27 season remains in doubt.
Milan’s immediate priority is securing Champions League qualification against Cagliari. Following this crucial match, a new era is anticipated to commence for the Rossoneri.
