There is a need for the signings to work for everyone. After all, there have been suggestions that certain ideas last season were from the top rather than the head coach – something which we saw play out with Alex Jimenez.
So, Allegri’s involvement in the recruitment process is a must, even if it is just identifying profiles for his team.
As Milan News reports, this is the case, with Allegri ‘totally immersed’ in the process, with him having the say on different choices. Today, for example, he has been at Casa Milan – and was seen leaving in the past hour (as can be seen below) – to aid with mercato strategies.
It is reported that he has had a meeting today with the management to take stock of different situations. So far, Allegri is showing ‘great enthusiasm’ and is one of the reference points for the mercato.
Above all, he wants to strengthen his squad, which already looks much weaker, thanks to the departure of Tijjani Reijnders, which he and Igli Tare, potentially, had no say in. More so than ever then, it is vital they have their say.
