Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is contracted to the Turin outfit until the end of next season, but rumours have emerged he could be set for the Premier League.
“Italian site Calciomercato.com say Allegri, 48, has been offered a four-year contract worth £5.7m per season,” Alex Harris of the ‘Daily Star’ reported, adding: “And it’s claimed he is open to a ‘dream’ opportunity in the Premier League.”
The 48-year-old has had great success at Juve since his instalment in the top job in 2014. He won a domestic double in his first season in charge in 2014-15 and led the Old Lady to a first Champions League final since 2003—they eventually lost to Barcelona.
He has engineered a terrific recovery in Serie A in the current campaign, with Juve shooting up the table to two points behind leaders Napoli following 10 consecutive victories.
Chelsea have had a horrendous 2015-16 season—they currently sit well outside the European places—but their squad remains packed with top-quality players, and Allegri could prove to be the man chosen to lead a new era at Stamford Bridge.
