And if that’s the case—as everyone at AC Milan hopes — Allegri has already made clear his first target on the market: Leon Goretzka . A versatile, strong, and experienced midfielder who will leave Bayern Munich (as previously announced) at the end of the season and will be free to sign with another club on a free transfer, the German is a specific request from the Livorno-born coach for the AC Milan of the future, regardless of Modric ‘s possible decision to stay in Milan for another year.
Initial exploratory contacts with the agency representing him and handling his interests have already been initiated: competition is fierce (especially from the Premier League and Arsenal), but AC Milan is confident that Champions League qualification and a clear sporting plan will convince the player to embark on his first professional adventure abroad in Italy, in Serie A, with the Rossoneri, also lowering his salary demands, which currently reach up to €6 million and more.
The Milanese are studying a plan to get Goretzka , at the specific request of Allegri.
