Milan Transfer Market: Latest on Massimiliano Allegri

His contract with Milan has not yet been terminated, but Massimiliano Allegri is confidently awaiting the start of his new adventure with Napoli. According to reports from Sky, the Livorno-born coach will sign a three-year contract with the Neapolitans, rather than a two-year deal as initially thought.

As for the Rossoneri, the two sides are negotiating the termination agreement and are working out the final details. Rumors suggest that the Tuscan coach is already working with Giovanni Manna and Aurelio De Laurentiis on the summer transfer window, which is set to begin shortly. Allegri has deemed certain players—such as Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, McTominay, Buongiorno, Politano, Hojlund, and Alisson-Santos—untransferable.

The first gift Napoli has already wrapped up for its new coach is the retention of Rasmus Hojlund, who has been permanently signed from Manchester United. The Danish forward has revitalized his career in Italy after struggling with the Red Devils, scoring 16 goals in 44 total appearances and proving decisive in the Italian Super Cup won by Napoli, with the goal that made it 2-0 against Milan in the semifinals. It’s no coincidence that his name appears on Allegri’s list of untouchables.

As for potential signings, Allegri is reportedly already targeting two of his trusted players still under contract with Milan: Alexis Saelemaekers and Adrien Rabiot. The Livorno-born coach is said to have let the two players know that he wants them with him in Naples, where the team will compete in the Champions League next season. Saelemaekers, who became a regular starter last season with 35 appearances, 3 goals, and 3 assists, recently renewed his contract with Milan through 2031, putting the Rossoneri in a strong negotiating position. Rabiot, on the other hand, is under contract with the Rossoneri through June 2028, but his strong relationship with Allegri could push the French midfielder toward a departure.
