Chelsea target speaks out on summer move claims

MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI has rubbished claims that he will join Chelsea this summer despite reports that the club have contacted him.

 

Allegri has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer

 

The Premier League champions have endured one of their worst ever starts to the league season which saw Jose Mourinho dismissed just before Christmas.

His replacement Guus Hiddink has ruled himself out of staying at the club any longer than the end of the season, happy to play the interim role he did so successfully for the same team in 2012.

The Dutchman's departure will leave one of the biggest jobs in European football vacant.

 

And reports in the Sun today claimed that Chelsea's representatives have sounded out Allegri about taking over.

But the Italian coach claims he only has one club on his mind.

"My thoughts at this moment are on Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League," Allegri said.

 

"I am tied to Juventus until 2017 and, as I've already said many times, I am happy here. So that's that.

"Just as there's a game of transfer speculation around players, we get the same with coaches. It's normal."

If Allegri is not available, Chelsea are likely to target Pep Guardiola, who will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season, or current Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone.
