Real Madrid interested in Milan boss Max Allegri

Real Madrid have renewed their pursuit of AC Milan manager Max Allegri, placing the Italian coach high on the shortlist to take charge at the Bernabéu, according to Corriere dello Sport.

This is not the first time Los Blancos have attempted to lure Allegri to Spain. The 56-year-old came close to joining the club on two previous occasions, first in 2019 and again in 2021. During the latter approach, a comprehensive agreement was virtually sealed before a late intervention by former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli persuaded Allegri to return to Turin instead.

Allegri is currently under contract at Milan and is said to be content with his role at the San Siro. Yet his long-term future hinges on an end-of-season appraisal. Once the campaign concludes, the Rossoneri hierarchy and the manager will sit down to review the direction of the sporting project. Allegri has expressed a strong desire to continue and is already mapping out plans to reinforce the squad, but the final verdict will rest on whether the club’s vision aligns with his ambitions.

Should Milan opt for a new direction, Real Madrid are poised to make a decisive move, potentially bringing Allegri’s protracted flirtation with the Spanish giants to a close.
