GdS: Clauses and severance pay - why Allegri's Napoli move could become a 'tug-of-war'

Allegri has accepted Napoli’s advances, but the transfer is not fully completed because contract and departure steps are still being finalized. The delay is described as technical timing, with additional uncertainty tied to recent rumors about his separation from Milan. Allegri received Milan’s official PEC email only yesterday, signed by Paolo Scaroni, which dismisses him rather than terminating his contract. Because it is a dismissal, he remains on Milan’s payroll until June 2027. Milan can deduct from the salary owed whatever he earns at Napoli. Napoli’s offer is €4.5 million plus bonuses, while Milan’s net figure was €5 million, rising to €6 million with Champions League qualification, leaving Milan’s net outlay around €500,000. Severance demands and potential negotiation tension could extend the process while Allegri continues working toward further actions involving Milan.

"At the same time it can't be ruled out that Allegri has asked for a severance package. Regardless of the amount potentially at stake, Cardinale doesn't appear willing to open his wallet. Indeed, those close to the coach are making it clear that the situation isn't entirely straightforward. Could there be a potential tug-of-war? That can't be ruled out. The process could therefore be extended, while in the meantime Max is targeting further strikes on Milan."
