“He [Massimiliano Allegri] is a Milanista, because he went on tour with us,” Galliani said. Asked about Marcello Lippi, who has been linked with Milan, he said: “He is not a Milanista, but he is a friend.”

Marco van Basten, a former Milan striker and a living Rossoneri legend was linked with Milan move, but he ruled it out for a hurt ankle. On that issue, Galliani commented: “We have never spoken with Marco.”
