Massimiliano Allegri is playing a central role in AC Milan’s decisions regarding the summer transfer window, Matteo Moretto reports.
In a statement on the official website just over a week ago, Milan announced that Allegri will be back for a second spell at the club. He takes over from Sergio Conceicao as the head coach, who joined on December 30 but lasted just a few months before being relieved of his duties.
In a feature we revealed the full background on how Allegri’s return materialised, and since then there have been a lot of rumours regarding signings and sales. The most significant belonged to the latter category, with Tijjani Reijnders joining Manchester City for a significant fee.
Matteo Moretto has given an update on Milan’s mercato, more specifically the role that Allegri is playing in the construction of the squad for 2025-26 and beyond. His words were relayed by MilanNews.
“Allegri is totally at the centre of the market, he is in every decision, and he directs where and how he can. He is certainly the coach with the most specific weight on the market in recent years,” he said.
Speaking of which, there are reports this morning that Allegri’s desire to keep Mike Maignan – who has seen a move to Chelsea collapse – could see renewal talks reopened with the goalkeeper.
