According to the report, the pair didn’t discuss the technical project or the financial details of a potential Milan offer, but it was another step towards Allegri’s potential return to the club.

The experienced Italian coach has already won the Scudetto at Milan and remained at the club for three and a half years before being sacked in January 2014.

Calciomercato.com reported on Monday that Allegri had met Fabio Paratici for dinner a few days before. This sparked further speculation as the ex-Juventus director is among the leading candidates to become Milan’s sporting director in 2025-26.

Allegri has been without a club since May 2024, when Juventus sacked him.
