AC Milan are close to offering manager Massimiliano Allegri a new deal that will keep him at the club until 2014, he has revealed.

The Italian, whose current deal expires in the summer, insists that he has no intention of exiting the San Siro and that a deal has been agreed in principle with both club vice-president Adriano Galliani and owner Silvio Berlusconi.

"Galliani has said that I will stay until 2014 and I explained to both him and [Berlusconi] that it is my ambition to remain here," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"On my part, there is no problem and it has never seemed to me that the situation could be any different.

"We just have to wait a while so that he can talk and define everything. It's true that [you don't know] until the contract is signed but there is no problem."

Milan are currently in second place in the Italian league, two points adrift of leaders Juventus.
