Massimiliano Allegri is planning a raid on his former club and AC Milan may have to protect their assets this summer.
It is no secret that Allegri is a manager who loves his players. Adrien Rabiot followed him to Milan in the summer and he could do the same this year, if the finances are right. However, he also had a long-term interest in Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Gatti, whom he also coached at Juventus.

In other words, if he has seen them work before, he is more likely to be behind the deal. Now, whilst his time with the Rossoneri was uninspiring, he could also make a few purchases from his former employer.
Napoli’s Saelemaekers idea
Rabiot, as it was alluded to, is already a target and it seems that he wants to bring Vlahovic to Naples. However, they would not be the only ones. Indeed, the Italian also wants to bring Alexis Saelemaekers with him.
It has already been reported and now Il Mattino (via Calciomercato.com) has looked at the structure which the Partenopei are considering. Rather than a straight buy, it seems that they are considering a loan-to-buy deal, with an option, rather than an obligation.
However, the Diavolo would have ‘no interest’ in this solution. His chances of leaving this summer are ‘slim to none’ and Gerry Cardinale has personally selected him as one of the players to stay.
Yeah sure, loaning one of the few players who actually played football this season to one of your rival teams who took your last coach is the best making sense story I’ve heard
Why would Milan loan him, even if the new manager doesn’t want him? If they want him they need to make a permanent transfer offer.
Before you geniuses start panicking here, there is no reason for Milan to sell anyone on the cheap and literally no player even wished Allegri well on his departure if you havent noticed
what makes you think they are eager to go back to him?
In addition to Rabiot, Alexis and Vlahovic, Allegri and Napoli work on getting Dodo and Gila as well and I wouldn’t be surprised if they start asking for Goretzka. Gatti, Cambiaso, Weston, Fagioli & Kean are (also) his usual targets…
