Allegri Wants Moise Kean as AC Milan’s New Forward in 2026-27

Sport news

According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Massimiliano Allegri has identified Fiorentina forward Moise Kean as his top choice to bolster AC Milan’s attacking lineup for the 2026-27 season. Allegri previously coached Kean during his tenure at Juventus, where he notably handed the striker his senior debut in November 2016.

AC Milan Initiates Talks for Kean

Moise Kean’s current contract with Fiorentina includes a €62 million release clause, which is specifically valid only during the first two weeks of July. Despite this limited window, AC Milan, often referred to as the Rossoneri, have reportedly already begun negotiations, aiming to reduce Fiorentina’s asking price. Last August, Kean extended his contract with the Tuscan club, which saw his release clause increase from €52 million to its current €62 million figure.

Gazzetta further indicates that Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy is also on Milan’s radar for the upcoming season. Additionally, Dusan Vlahovic is mentioned as a potential target, although Juventus is reportedly confident of reaching an agreement to extend the Serbian striker’s contract, which is set to expire this coming June.

Currently, Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao stand as AC Milan’s leading scorers this season, each having netted 10 goals across all competitions.
