Allegri responds to Real Madrid rumours: ‘Haven’t achieved anything yet’
Massimilano Allegri has had the opportunity to comment on his future after a week of rumours linking him to the Real Madrid job, less than a year into his tenure with Milan: ‘We haven’t achieved anything yet’.
Reports in Italy this week have claimed that Allegri has been the long-term subject of a courtship from Real Madrid President Florentino Perez, and that the LaLiga giants could be poised to make a move for the Milan head coach to replace Alvaro Arbeola.
There have even been suggestions that Allegri would be keen to bring trusted Milan and former Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot with him to the Bernabeu, as well as Luka Modric in some sort of coaching capacity.
Updates claim that Milan are now keen to offer Allegri an extension to his contract, potentially until 2028, as a result of the Real Madrid interest.
Allegri comments on Madrid rumours and Milan future
Allegri has since had a chance to address the recent rumours regarding his future during his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s Derby della Madonnina against city rivals and league leaders, Inter.
“I’m linked to Milan until 2027. My future is tomorrow. I’m fine at Milan and I’m very happy,” the Milan head coach told the press on Saturday.
“We only started the journey in July. The club is working for the future. But until we reach our goal, we will have to stay focused on the present. We haven’t achieved anything yet.”
