Real Madrid have rekindled their interest in AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri, placing the Italian tactician high on their list of candidates to take over the Santiago Bernabéu bench.
From San Siro to Spain? Real Madrid Eye Allegri for Summer Move
According to reports from Corriere dello Sport, the Spanish giants have a long-standing admiration for the 57-year-old. This is not the first time Los Blancos have come calling.
Allegri has been on the verge of joining the club on two separate occasions in the past. The most notable approach came in 2021, when a deal with Real Madrid was essentially finalized.
However, in a dramatic eleventh-hour intervention, former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli convinced Allegri to scrap the move to Spain and return to Turin for a second stint with the Bianconeri.
Now, with his current project at Milan under review, the door has creaked open once again for a potential move to La Liga.
Allegri currently finds himself settled and content at the San Siro. He has embraced the challenge of rebuilding the Rossoneri and has the team competing at a high level.
However, his long-term future in Lombardy is far from certain. The club’s hierarchy has scheduled a decisive end-of-season evaluation.
Once the current campaign concludes, the manager and the board will sit down for a thorough review of the project to determine the best path forward.
While Allegri is keen to continue his work in Milan and has a clear desire to strengthen the squad further, the final decision rests with the club’s management.
The hierarchy’s vision for the next phase of the project will be the determining factor in whether he stays.
If the Milan directors share his ambition and commit to building on the current foundation, Allegri will likely remain.
But if there is a disconnect in strategy, the opportunity to finally take the reins at Real Madrid becomes an extremely attractive alternative.
After two near-misses, 2025 might finally be the year Allegri makes the long-awaited move to the Bernabéu.
