Silvio Berlusconi will reportedly delay sacking Clarence Seedorf until May, whilst Milan apparently face a battle over his contract.
The Dutchman has been increasingly reported as on his way out of Milanello in the summer, but his interview held at home with Sky, apparently without the club’s knowledge reportedly had President Berlusconi ready to remove him sooner.
Silvio Berlusconi will reportedly delay sacking Clarence Seedorf until May, whilst Milan apparently face a battle over his contract.
The Dutchman has been increasingly reported as on his way out of Milanello in the summer, but his interview held at home with Sky, apparently without the club’s knowledge reportedly had President Berlusconi ready to remove him sooner.
However, the Gazzetta dello Sport report today that Vice-President Adriano Galliani has convinced Berlusconi to hold off removing the 38-year-old from the bench until at least the season’s conclusion.
Whilst with the aim of keeping the group together in view of the objective of Europa League qualification, this decision is seen as juxtaposed against the club’s apparent continued plans for life after Seedorf come the summer.
However, further reports also indicate that the Rossoneri will face a legal battle with Seedorf over the remaining two years of his contract.
Whilst the retired midfielder is seen as determined to negotiate a severance package, so as to move back into maganement elsewhere as soon as possible, he is also seen as angling for as much of the remaining €10m in pre-tax salaries his contract to June 2016 is for.
The club, meanwhile, are believed eager to negotiate down that amount as much as possible.
