Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic allegedly questioned the work of CEO Ivan Gazidis, who arrived at Milanello to announce the club’s intentions of cutting wages.

The club has reportedly decided to go
through with Gazidis’ plan to reduce the salaries and work on the rebirth of the Diavolo.

Milan have simultaneously accepted the request made by the players five days ago, which means they receive 50 per cent of their salary for the month of April and the rest of the months will be paid in full.

The Corriere dello Sport claims the 38-year-old questioned Gazidis absence in recent weeks, as the players haven’t seen the former Arsenal director since May 4 and pointed out that the timing was completely wrong.

“Why have you been away for so long and show up 48 hours before the semi-final?” Zlatan asked, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The outlet claims the veteran continued to address other issues he has found problematic since his return in January and added: “It’s not the Milan it used to be, there’s too much uncertainty.”

The South African reportedly replied: “Yes, it’s true, Milan aren’t what they were in terms of success and finances.”
