The future of AC Milan seems to hinge on the role of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with many questioning his influence within the club. According to football journalist Franco Ordine, Ibrahimovic's position as a consultant for RedBird, while officially limited, appears to carry significant weight in the club's decision-making process. This ambiguity surrounding his duties has led to concerns that he may be more of a hindrance than a help to the team's progress.

Ordine argues that Ibrahimovic has become the primary target for criticism from Milan's fans, even surpassing that of the club's owner, Gerry Cardinale. The journalist believes that Ibrahimovic's tendency to compare himself to other players and offer opinions on their performances has not gone unnoticed. As a result, his role within the club has become a point of contention.

The issue at hand seems to be that Ibrahimovic's current position does not clearly define his responsibilities, leading to confusion about his actual influence on the team's strategy and player selection. With Cardinale and new coach Paulo Amorim expected to be the key figures in shaping Milan's future, Ibrahimovic's unclear role may continue to cause problems.

The situation is being closely watched as Milan prepares for the upcoming season, with many hoping that a clearer definition of Ibrahimovic's role will help alleviate some of the tension and uncertainty surrounding the club.
