Barcelona vice-president Mestre adds weight to Allegri rumours

Barcelona vice-president Jordi Mestre has added weight to reports of a contract offer being made to Massimiliano Allegri.

In Italy, it's suggested Barca have offered the Juventus coach a three-year deal worth €8 million-a-season.

And Mestre says: "Allegri is certainly a great coach, but we're not focused on that yet.

"Several profiles are being studied, but this is not the time to talk about them.

"We still have a lot of very important matches to play."

Barca coach Luis Enrique has announced he will leave the job at the end of this season.
