Moretto: Allegri’s admiration and Leao bond – two factors ‘could bring Kean closer’ to Milan

Massimiliano Allegri is a big admirer of Moise Kean and his situation is one to watch in view of the summer.

It’s no secret that Allegri already knows and appreciates Kean, given that the coach already worked with the striker during his time at Juventus. With Milan in the market for a new number nine ahead of the summer window, the Italian could be just the right fit given his experience and eye for goal.

There will of course be other names that are on the list of options, as seen with the Jean-Philippe Mateta operation. However, with Fiorentina stuck in a relegation battle at present, the chance to sign Kean could become more feasible given he will potentially look to move on.

‘A name Allegri especially likes’

Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto spoke live on a YouTube broadcast and they confirmed that the Rossoneri are ones to watch in the Kean sweepstakes. MilanNews relayed what the latter had to say.

“It’s a piece of news we discussed in January. In January, I talked about it as if it were a backstory: the player Allegri liked most due to his characteristics was Kean, who wouldn’t have moved in the winter anyway,” he said.

“Kean wanted to finish the season in Fiorentina. From there, we must understand if Milan come back stronger in the summer, but he’s still a name Allegri really likes. I’d add that he’s a good friend of Leao, and I’d add that Leao’s future remains to be seen.

“However, these are factors that could bring Kean closer. The possible offer Fiorentina are negotiating is also unclear, so we’ll see. There’s still a long way to go, but he’s a name Allegri especially likes.”
