The 2025/26 edition of Milan will bear the mark of Massimiliano Allegri. Not only because he has returned to the Rossoneri bench after 11 years, but also because he is fully involved in the meetings for building the team. There is constant dialogue with Tare and Furlani, who are working to make the squad as suited as possible to the coach’s needs.
Allegri has always known how to work with young players and enhance their value, but within the squad, experienced men are needed—those capable of leading the group and helping it grow. That’s why, especially in midfield, Milan is certainly not relying on youth. The marquee signing is Luka Modric, who will arrive after the Club World Cup, as per the agreement between the parties. Alongside him, Igli Tare would like to add Granit Xhaka: the mastermind behind Bayer Leverkusen in recent years. Contacts were made yesterday, with the Swiss midfielder showing appreciation for the Milan destination.
Also for the left-back role, as reported by Tuttosport, the focus is on a reliable option: Oleksandr Zinchenko of Arsenal is liked. In the coming weeks, finally, the assault will begin for a central striker, since Allegri wants a profile different from that of Gimenez. Vlahovic and Retegui are at the top of the coach’s list: names for an instant team, but also a clear intention to reopen a cycle that can last over time.
