Milan: last call for Allegri; denials about Strootman. Juve: Lewandowski the main target?
Tomorrow’s Champions League game against Malaga could be decisive for the future of AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri: in case of victory, or maybe even of a draw, the 45 year old would be confirmed but his position would remain uncertain; in case of a loss, it seems extremely probable a change on the rossoneri’s bench, with actual assistant coach Mauro Tassotti as the main candidate, and other former players like Gattuso or Costacurta as alternatives; in any case, as sublined by calciomercato.com, these would all be just temporary solutions, awaiting the end of the season when a high-profile coach as Guardiola, Van Basten or Spalletti will be signed. Meanwhile, the Lombard club’s executive keep on working to enforce the team for the second part of the season, and it seems difficult that one of their targets, PSV Eindhoven 22 year old midfielder Kevin Strootman will join in January: interviewed by calciomercato.com, Chiel Dekker, agent of the Holland national, has declared: “There is nothing concrete going on, and it’s too early to talk about the transfer market, we are only in October, we should talk about it in April of May. Am I forgetting about the winter transfer window? No, I am just saying that at the moment there are just a lot of speculations”.
