Galliani's departure from Monza is linked to the ongoing sale of the club, with an expected €45 million profit for Fininvest, Berlusconi's investment company. Meanwhile, AC Milan has been strengthening its team, with the appointment of a new sporting director, Igle Tare, and the hiring of Max Allegri as coach. These moves are seen as an attempt to address the team's weaknesses highlighted in the previous season.

The idea of Galliani returning to AC Milan was reportedly floated by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who arranged a private meeting with Galliani and Gerry Cardinale, a key figure in the sale of Monza. This meeting may have contributed to the decision to bring Galliani back to AC Milan, where he will likely play a key role in shaping the team's strategy.
