‘Very close in the past’

Fabrizio Romano took to his YouTube channel to address the rumours circulating that Allegri’s return to Milan for a second spell could last just one year, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.

“Max Allegri and Real Madrid have had many questions, and we’ll be hearing more because the Madrid issue will be important in the coming months,” he said.

“What I can tell you is that the Livorno-born coach was very close in the past to joining Los Blancos, but that’s a thing of the past. We don’t have any information on this matter today. If there’s any news, we’ll be the first to let you know…”
