Allegri's agent on Scudetto talk and Leao's situation: "The dynamics of the club are complex"

"Max's message has always been very concrete and balanced: he never thought about winning the Scudetto, never talked about chasing Inter, and always said let's watch our backs, because the goal is to qualify for the Champions League. Some might have thought it was a strategy. Instead, it's realism and fairness."

"The dynamics of the club are complex: Leao is important to the club, so various factors must be considered. He's not making a huge contribution this year, it's clear to everyone. He remains an important player and must be defended until the end, as Max did yesterday after the match, despite the abrupt outcome of his substitution."

Milan suffered a 1-0 defeat against Lazio, with Gustav Isaksen scoring in the first half. The loss extends Inter's lead to eight points, effectively ending any realistic title challenge. The manager has consistently maintained that the season's objective is a top-four finish and Champions League qualification, rather than pursuing the Scudetto. Portuguese forward Rafael Leao's substitution in the second half generated controversy due to his visible frustration. The manager's representative emphasized that this realistic approach was never a strategic ploy but rather a fair assessment of the club's actual objectives.
