According to Sky Sport, both Allegri and Vincenzo Italiano have reached an understanding with Napoli, as the club nears the conclusion of its evaluation process for a new coach.
Bologna has officially announced Italiano’s departure by mutual consent after two seasons. However, both Sky Sport and Sportitalia suggest that Allegri is now Napoli’s primary target.
Alfredo Pedullà reports that Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is displeased with elements surrounding Italiano, particularly regarding the confidentiality of a meeting between the coach and the club in Rome earlier this week.
Gianluca Di Marzio indicates that Allegri’s agents and Napoli are in advanced negotiations to finalize the terms of Max’s contract at the Stadio Maradona, which is anticipated to run until June 2028.
