As Calciomercato.com report, everything is going according to script. Vincenzo Italiano is about to renew his contract with Bologna at the end of a week of negotiations. Thus, what seemed to be the main option for the Milan bench has faded away.
Igli Tare is working on several fronts and is now accelerating for what had always been his candidate for the Rossoneri bench, since the very first meeting with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gerry Cardinale at the end of February: Massimiliano Allegri.
In the last few hours, after having explored the possible availability of Thiago Motta, Milan have intensified contacts with Allegri. The aim is to quickly find a verbal agreement on the contractual front and then understand what will happen with Napoli.
The former Juventus coach has spoken to Napoli and seemed inclined to accept a two-year contract worth €6m net per season in the event of Antonio Conte’s farewell, but is now hesitating when faced with the Rossoneri’s proposal.
Confidence is rising at Milan. Allegri is in pole position and is currently the strongest candidate. On the table is a three-year contract worth €3.5m net plus bonuses, while Allegri is asking for €5m plus bonuses, but there is room to negotiate.
The feeling is that Friday could become a do-or-die day. Allegri does not want to wait beyond this week and is on stand-by for a signal from Napoli. Otherwise, he would be ready to enthusiastically accept Milan, to whom he has been sending indirect messages for months.
