Massimiliano Allegri move: Update on
Kaveh Solhekol who reckons the juven boss baulked at the Gunners’ £50m war chest.
Allegri was one of the early frontrunners to replace Arsene Wenger.
But the experienced chief cooled speculation on Sunday by suggesting he’d only leave Turin if he was sacked.
Manchester City assistant manager Mikel Arteta is now the firm favourite to take the reins in north London.
Solhekol says Allegri - and ex-Barcelona boss Luis Enrique - would have demanded a bigger transfer kitty.
“They would have had a look at the Arsenal squad and they would have had thoughts, ideas, about where they think they need to change things, the kind of money that they need to turn things around,” Solhekol said on the Transfer Talk podcast.
“They would have looked at the squad and thought ‘yeah, this is a big job, I’m going to need more than £50m’.
“So that kind of thing would put off the big, big name managers.
“Also, the fact that although they are used to working with a head of recruitments and directors of football and chief executives, they wouldn’t quite have as much power as maybe they’d want to have.
“Also they certainly, absolutely, will never have as much power as Arsene Wenger had at Arsenal.”
