Eh, 3.5M is not a small sum for a player who will not contribute on the pitch, and can be reallocated to wages for contract extensions or new signings.
Also, Max may not want to have a player in the locker room who he does intend on using at all.
Those are pretty good reasons to let a player go.
I don't blame the management if they want to release him, although I wish he would stay.
If it's true that he asked for the termination, I would prefer that. But I don't believe it.

these are the players we would potentially replace him with (if we replace him at all). note: click on "Market value" on the right to list them by relevance in the world of football. also, not all of them are homegrown, as you need to be owned by a club for 3 seasons between age 15 and 21 to count as homegrown in Serie A, and play (as in, spend time at the club, not be loaned out) for a club for 3 seasons between age 15-21 to count as homegrown in CL.
if you gave this list of players to Max, who do you think he would take over Marchisio? or do you think he would rather have 24 players than 25 players, if one of the 25 if Marchisio? if Marchisio is happy to stay and play 5-10 games a year, why would Allegris want him out? a veteran player whos been at the club his whole life, never complains about playing time, shows up for training every day and works hard. its a role model for everyone else, every coach would love to have such character in the dressing room. unless, Marchisio does want to play more? and Allegri cant promise him more playing time as hes a 3rd option for him at the moment? fits in the mutual termination story atleast
i want him to stay as well. even if i didnt like him (which isnt the case), just losing such a presence would hurt. and decreasing the squad as well. i didnt like when we let Giovinco go, and he was never my favorite really. all im saying is, i dont think we are pushing him out from observing this situation carefully, but its rather mutual. Marchisio is still a pro athlete, and he wants to play and contribute. so much that he would leave his only club to do so.
