In the Italian press, there was speculation that Massimiliano Allegri, current coach of AC Milan, could be one of the candidates on Florentino Perez’s list to coach Real Madrid next season. This option fueled the rumor that Luka Modric (40 years old) would be a requirement for Allegri to sit on the bench at the Santiago Bernabeu, opening the door to the return of the Croatian genius to Real Madrid accompanied by French midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
