Milan are expected to be in the market for a centre-forward despite having invested over €30m to sign Santiago Gimenez in the winter transfer window, given Luka Jovic’s deal will soon expire and Tammy Abraham is only on loan.

Allegri agreed to return to Milan after over 12 years away last week after the removal of Sergio Conceicao Branchini said on Radio RAI: “We analysed the concrete and real proposal that we received. The ‘rumours’ have taken on excessive importance in our world. There is a rush to anticipate events that can often lead to error. Asked if Roma had been in contact, he continued: “No, there wasn’t an offer. There was an attempt at contact many months ago, but we considered it very unlikely to be credible. There have been no developments and there hasn’t even been contact.…
