Massimiliano Allegri
April 2026

Massimiliano Allegri admitted Milan are no longer in the Serie A title race after the defeat to Napoli, saying the Scudetto objective is gone and the club must now focus on securing Champions League qualification. Current table reporting supports that shift in target. News reported Napoli’s win moved them to 65 points, seven behind leaders Inter, while Milan stayed on 63 in third. That leaves Milan chasing top-four security rather than the title, matching Allegri’s own public message that the team must focus on what remains realistic.

RB Leipzig are working on a contract adjustment and salary increase for Yan Diomande as they try to keep him beyond this summer despite interest from major clubs. The winger is attracting growing attention, but Leipzig’s current plan is to reward him rather than sell immediately.
