Moretto: 'He believed' - Allegri wanted Kean in January despite imminent Fullkrug move

"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."

Massimiliano Allegri wanted Moise Kean in January to address AC Milan's striker issues. Kean is a Fiorentina striker and a close friend of Rafa Leao, but his future at Fiorentina will be uncertain starting in June. Fiorentina will likely find it difficult to sell Kean in June, and January conditions for a move were not feasible. Club management considered Joshua Zirkzee and prioritized availability and cost. Niclas Fullkrug emerged as the chosen solution because of quick operability and his profile as a penalty-area centre forward, and Milan reached a definition for his arrival.
