According to today`s Italian sports reports, AC Milan`s new coach Max Allegri is focusing on two key players on the flanks of the attack, Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao. Allegri reportedly sees these two as central figures for the upcoming season and intends to rely on them heavily.
Christian Pulisic`s performance during the initial training sessions at Milanello has significantly impressed the coach. Allegri is said to be appreciating Pulisic`s technical qualities and his flexibility in adapting to different offensive scenarios. Despite recent speculation linking the American winger to a move to Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Pulisic`s clear intention is to remain at Milan. Reports also suggest he is open to discussing a potential contract extension beyond his current deal, which is set to expire in June 2027 but includes an option to extend until 2028.
Allegri has also been observed having frequent and detailed conversations with Rafael Leao. The Portuguese star has reportedly been excelling in the athletic tests conducted at the club`s training facilities. Allegri is highly motivated to build around Leao, seemingly challenging him to make the definitive step up in his career that has often been anticipated. Information emerging from Milanello indicates a positive and developing rapport between Leao and the new head coach.
