Real Madrid’s bench is once again at the center of debate. Two consecutive losses in La Liga have shaken things up. First they lost the lead, then Barcelona increased their lead by four points. In this regard, rumors have been circulating around the club, which is currently led by Alvaro Arbeloa, following the departure of Carlo Ancelotti in the spring of 2025 and the departure of Xabi Alonso in January last year.
Massimiliano Allegri is a name with a strong Italian origin. According to Corriere dello Sport newspaper, AC Milan’s current manager is on Real Madrid’s radar and is one of the candidates the club are considering for a spot on their bench. Another name that comes into this equation is German player Jurgen Klopp, who is currently contracted to multinational Red Bull off the bench.

Allegri, who won 10 titles between Milan and Juventus, is no stranger to the Bernabéu office. According to the Italian newspaper, this is the third approach between the two parties. It was already done in 2019 and also in 2021. On the second occasion, an agreement was never reached, but the conversation made considerable progress.
Meanwhile, the Italian manager remains focused on the San Siro. Allegri tried to put an end to speculation from outsiders by saying, “I’m happy at Milan and I still have a contract until 2027.”

The coach insists that the Rossoneri’s project is still growing. “The club is working hard to continue to strengthen the squad for next year.”
Milan sit second in Serie A, 10 points behind Inter, and the Lombardy club are pushing ahead with a rebuilding process to once again become an important player in Europe, where they have long been estranged from the big powers. Along this path, Allegri remains the central figure in the project.
