Massimiliano Allegri is expected to move to Napoli after being sacked by Milan. Napoli previously turned to him after Antonio Conte’s departure, repeating a historical pattern from his earlier Juventus tenure. Early transfer rumors connect Allegri with a reunion with Adrien Rabiot, who is contracted with Milan until June 2028 and earns a salary aligned with Napoli’s cap. Napoli could adjust the midfield by moving Andrè-Frank Zambo Anguissa to make space for Rabiot alongside Scott McTominay. Mario Gila is also mentioned as a defensive option from Lazio. Dusan Vlahovic is again linked to Napoli’s attack, with uncertainty around Rasmus Hojlund’s role.
"Massimiliano Allegri was out of work just a few days as he will head to Napoli. He is already eyeing a strike on AC Milan, too. Allegri replaces Antonio Conte again. Twelve years after taking over from him at Juventus, history repeats itself at Napoli. After bidding farewell to the coach who won the club their fourth Scudetto, Napoli turned to the Italian, who was sacked by Milan on Monday after the late-season collapse."
"While we await the final formalities and the official announcement, the first rumours regarding the transfer market are already circulating. First and foremost, Calciomercato.com report that Allegri wants to link up with Rabiot again. The French international is under contract until June 2028 with Milan, who paid €7m to sign him from Marseille and gave him a deal worth €5m net per year. This figure represents the salary cap at both Milan and Napoli, where the highest-paid player (Lukaku) is set to leave."
"At the start of the season, before Rabiot's arrival at Milan, Allegri declared: "This year, Loftus-Cheek and Fofana will have to score at least 15 goals between them." Combined, they scored fewer than Rabiot (scorer of six). The same argument could be made if Rabiot were to follow Allegri to Napoli to form a top-flight midfield partnership with Scott McTominay, who scored 14 goals in 2025-26. To make room for Rabiot, Napoli could sacrifice Cameroonian midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa."
"As for the defence, the name of Mario Gila has resurfaced for Napoli, under contract with Lazio until 2027. The Spaniard was in negotiations with Milan, but the departure of sporting director Igli Tare put a stop to everything. In attack, the suggestion of Serbian international Dusan Vlahovic is back in vogue. He too was a target for Max's Milan, though there would be a question mark about Rasmus Hojlund, who was bought outright for a rep"
