Milan's attacking overhaul under Amorim: departures and recruitment plans
AC Milan are preparing a major squad revamp following Ruben Amorim's appointment as manager. Luka Modric is set to leave, while several attacking players face uncertain futures. Rafael Leao's future remains in the balance despite a disappointing season under Allegri, though Amorim may attempt to convince the Portuguese winger to stay when he returns from World Cup duty. Christian Pulisic's prolonged goal drought since December 2025 has sparked transfer speculation, with Liverpool and Tottenham reportedly among his suitors. Christopher Nkunku's underwhelming first Serie A campaign has also prompted exit talk, with a move to Roma mentioned as a plausible option given the Giallorossi's return to the Champions League. Santiago Gimenez is expected to depart after a poor season. Milan's primary concern is replacing their goal-scoring depth—no top-six Serie A side scored fewer than their 53 goals last season. Gimenez has underperformed since arriving from Feyenoord, creating space for a new center-forward. Robert Lewandowski was pursued but has reportedly agreed personal terms with MLS side Chicago Fire instead. Milan have turned attention to Udinese's Nicolò Zaniolo, who recently completed a permanent move from Galatasaray, though his five goals in 32 league appearances raise questions about solving the club's attacking problems. Francesco Camarda has been recalled from a loan at Lecce and could receive increased playing time. Francisco Trincao from Sporting CP is also a recruitment target, though Milan must complete sales first to fund moves.
