Massimiliano Allegri is between AC Milan and Napoli currently, and it appears that Aurelio De Laurentiis wants to resolve the situation soon.
Milan are having a difficult summer; they need to hire a replacement manager after sacking Allegri. However, they also need to sort out his future, too. Indeed, the Italian is still under contract with the club. So, a settlement needs to be agreed upon so that he can move on.

Considering the suggestions that it may need to go to court, all parties probably want to avoid this. Finding a solution would surely be the preferred option instead. Doing that, though, is easier said than done.
De Laurentiis requests Ibrahimovic meeting
Now, Il Mattino reports that there could be advancements made in America shortly, thanks to De Laurentiis and Zlatan Ibrahimovic both being in the States for the World Cup, as Calciomercato.com relays.
Reports have suggested that the Swede is the major opposition to the move, so perhaps this could settle things somewhat.
The Napoli president has already spoken to Paolo Scaroni about the matter and the Italian offered him some reassurances about the situation. However, no movement has been made yet. So, he wants to go higher up and speak to Ibrahimovic.
The pair apparently have an ‘excellent’ relationship, so perhaps they will find a middle ground. It remains to be seen, though.
De Laurentiis speaking to people who cannot make final decisions at Milan. Nice circling.
either pay him the money he wants himself, or stfu… we don’t owe our competitors anything
Ibrahimovic is a problem to milan
If it’s not in the contract don’t pay him a euro.
Zlatan is playing checkers, not chess.
Please just let Allegri go to Napoli and do the same thing he did both of this second tries at Juve and Milan.
Should offer to pick up some of his salary too.
LOL. But I think Allegri should pay damages for what he did. I am not a big Leão fan, meaning I think he is a very good player but never thought he was a superstar. If he had a decent, 13+ goal season along with Pulisic, and ACM finished in the top four all would be well with him and the team.
Please take Ibrahimivic with you
De laurentis: “pay my coach 5 million gerry, i want allegri as soon as possible.”
Cardinale: “you can take allegri right away. Why i need to pay someone to be napoli coach.”
Cardinale: “if you want allagri fast. Pay allegri salary like milan does, don’t be cheapskate.”
Ibra: “de laurentis can ask scaroni money, scaroni say yes. You can ask 5 million of scaroni saving.”
Brilliant!!! That should be the conversation. Allegri is asking just enough to be less then his yearly contract. That’s smart. What is smarter is for Cardinale to say, “Homey don’t play that game. “
