CorSera: Allegri asks for squad to be strengthened – the two positions prioritised

Massimiliano Allegri wants AC Milan to dream big, but he requires at least a couple more pieces to complete his squad.

As Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) write this morning, things at Milanello are going much smoother this season compared to the chaos of 2024-25. At least for now, the Rossoneri can enjoy a first quarter of the season they perhaps never would have dreamed of.

Allegri’s impact is evident, and being in second place – two points off the top spot – is beginning to make fans dream. The issue though is that dropped points in recent weeks came in part because of the injuries which depleted an already small squad.

Max makes his demands

There have been some difficult moments this season despite the positive league position, such as the defeat to Cremonese, plus the draws against Pisa and Parma.

Allegri wants the team to be strengthened so that he has more options in key roles, to keep energy high but also attentiveness thorough competition for places.

Today’s Corriere della Sera has the headline: ‘With Max (and Mike), Milan are made of steel. And now they can grow’. The subtitle read: ‘Allegri wants a centre-forward and a winger’.

The Livorno-born coach has asked the management for a new signing on the right who can give Alexis Saelemaekers some rest, and a penalty-area striker who could also push Santiago Gimenez away from Milan.
