La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Furlani could make the decision to leave Milan independently, without being pushed out, in what would clear the path for owner Gerry Cardinale to bring in a new direction. Galliani, who served as Milan's vice-president and chief executive under former owner Silvio Berlusconi from 1986 to 2017, is cited as the figure most likely to step into that void.
The 80-year-old Galliani is a former president of Monza, the club he helped guide from Serie C to Serie A. He was linked with a return to Milan in the autumn and the speculation has intensified with the season drawing to a close.
Transfer journalist Nicolò Schira had reported earlier in the week that sporting director Igli Tare is also expected to be replaced this summer. Together with questions over both Massimiliano Allegri's future as head coach and Zlatan Ibrahimović's advisory role, the potential departures represent a near-complete turnover at the club's senior level.
Milan finished third in Serie A with one match remaining, but only after a harrowing final stretch in which the club won just four of their last 12 league matches, dropping from what appeared a comfortable Champions League position. Cardinale has been explicit throughout the season that finishing outside the top four would represent a failure. The club ultimately avoided that outcome, but only barely.
Allegri addressed the club's internal tensions at his pre-match press conference ahead of the trip to Genoa, dismissing reports of a conflict with Ibrahimović but acknowledging that disagreements occur within any organisation.
"Listen, there will always be discussions within a company. The fundamental thing is that we all work in the same direction. The club comes first, above everyone and everything."
Whether Allegri is given the opportunity to continue will depend on the nature of any wider structural reset. His contract runs to 2027, but exit clauses and mutual agreements are understood to be under review by Cardinale's RedBird Capital.
