you don't understand the choice but that doesn't mean it couldn't be true
Not saying it necessarily is but you get the idea
I do get the idea but in this case I know it is not true.
You know he regrets not taking the job 3 years ago and being loyal then us fucking him up a year later. He always talked with admiration and respect about RM, and who wouldn't it's the absolute best job in the world.
Romano today on his podcast repeated multiple times that Italian teams are approaching him and begging for an answer and he always tells them he's waiting for RM. He's not wasting this opportunity if he can have it.
Also, he is out of a job for two years, now a top job possibly falls in his lap, he's gonna set conditions and say he's waiting too long (what this 'journalist' said)? No way.
One more interesting thing - Romano also said Allegri and RM have been in contact since March. Remember that Sky Sport interview with Max in March? How he was laughing when they asked him about his future? How glowingly he talked about Benzema? I bet he knew then this was a possibility.
