According to the outlet, Allegri has already made it known that he would be willing to leave AC Milan immediately if Real Madrid formally approached him for the role.
That willingness has reportedly strengthened his position, as Real Madrid continue evaluating their options for next season.
The Italian’s track record also works heavily in his favour, having won six Serie A titles, five Coppa Italia trophies and three Italian Super Cups.
Even so, Real Madrid are not limiting their search to one candidate alone.
The club reportedly continues monitoring other highly-rated managers, including Enzo Maresca and Julian Nagelsmann, both of whom are admired for different reasons.
