Shakhtar Donetsk are apparently weighing up a move to bring Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri to Ukraine as their coach, according to reports in Italy.

Shakhtar could offer Allegri a four-year contract worth €6m a season - a big increase on his current €2.5m-a-season deal at the San Siro, which is due to expire next summer.

Allegri has also been linked with a move to Roma, but Shakhtar have the finances to tempt him to the Donbass Arena.

Shakhtar have been managed by the former Inter and Romania coach Mircea Lucescu since 2004, eurosport.com reported.
