Glasner waits for Milan as Alaba transfer links intensify

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Oliver Glasner has made Milan his preferred destination and is awaiting a fresh approach from the Rossoneri, while David Alaba’s chances of moving to San Siro will increase if the ex-Crystal Palace boss is appointed along with Ralf Rangnick.

Milan are rebuilding their club’s structure after sacking their coach and prominent directors at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

Gazzetta newspaper reports on Monday that ex-Crystal Palace boss Glasner is willing to move to San Siro and expects a call from the Rossoneri in the coming days after a first meeting between his agent, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gerry Cardinale last week.

Milan are also due to appoint a technical director, and Austria coach Rangnick is among their primary options.

The German has already made it clear that he wants to develop his project with his own ideas and trusted men, including Southampton director Johannes Spors and Manchester United head scout Christopher Vivell.

Just like Glasner, Rangnick also expects a call from Milan in the coming days.

According to Gazzetta, if both Glasner and Rangnick join Milan, Austria international Alaba will have a greater chance of moving to San Siro as a free agent.

The 34-year-old has already been offered to Milan as well as Inter and Juventus, but he’s on very good terms with Rangnick, so he’d naturally be glad to join his national team coach in Milan next season.

Milan are aware that Alaba has had physical issues in the 2025-26 campaign, but are confident that his experience would help the team next season.
