Moretto: ‘He believed’ – Allegri wanted Kean in January despite imminent Fullkrug move

Massimiliano Allegri would have preferred to sign Moise Kean next month to solve the AC Milan striker issues, it seems. However, he will not arrive.

A lot has been said about the striker solutions available to Milan, and it now seems that Niclas Fullkrug will be entrusted to pick up the weight. Whether this is the right thing is a talking point in itself, but he was not the first choice.

Things have moved quickly with the German, probably due to his availability. However, reports have suggested that he was not the number one choice for anyone. Instead, the management would have preferred a move for Joshua Zirkzee.

Allegri’s plea

It seems that Allegri also had other ideas. Instead of the West Ham man, he would have reunited with his former Juventus player Moise Kean, as Matteo Moretto stated on YouTube, via MilanNews.

“I want to tell you an interesting backstory. It is true that Fullkrug in terms of costs and speed of the operation, in terms of technical characteristics, is an attacker, a first striker from the penalty area.

“It was perhaps the easiest name to reach, but there is a name that Massimiliano Allegri would have really wanted. The name for which Allegri spent himself in person, the name that the Milan coach would have liked to add to his squad because he believed it could be a lethal weapon to be added later to those who are the Leao on duty.

“The name we will talk about is a great friend of Rafa Leao. We are talking about Moise Kean, Fiorentina striker, who will surely have an uncertain future in Florence, especially starting in June. It will be difficult for Fiorentina to deprive themselves of Kean in June, but I tell you that Allegri would have wanted him for this January market.

“But the conditions are not feasible, and Milan has now reached the definition for Fullkrug. Among other things, a real revolution is taking place for the whole of Fiorentina.”

Whether he would have arrived is another thing entirely. However, it doesn’t look great that Fullkrug has arrived despite the cries from Allegri for Kean.
