Ruben Amorim had declared in recent days that this would be the week of decisions, and that has indeed proved to be the case. Yesterday, the Rossoneri coach met with club owner Gerry Cardinale, and the summit at Milanello produced some important decisions: among others, Tomori, Odogu, Fofana and Nkunku are set to leave, while Loftus-Cheek and Musah will stay. The Milan coach is also expecting reinforcements, with at least three new signings set to arrive.
Tiago Gabriel on AC Milan's radar once again:
The Italian newspaper 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' reported this morning that the first signing will be in defence because, with Tomori and Odogu leaving, the department needs to be completed with a new addition. Amorim's dream was Gonçalo Inácio, but Sporting CP no longer intend to sell him after already allowing Diomande to join Nottingham Forest. Following Hjulmand's departure, the captain's armband has also gone to the Portuguese defender. As a result, Milan have returned to the idea of signing Tiago Gabriel, the 21-year-old Lecce defender who was already linked with the Rossoneri in recent months and is part of Jorge Mendes' agency.
With Musah and Ricci confirmed, both of whom have convinced Amorim, as well as Comotto, it is unlikely that there will be room for another midfield signing. It is more likely that reinforcements will arrive on the flanks, particularly if Estupiñán also leaves following Athekame, who is set to join Lyon on loan. There are several names on Milan's radar, ranging from Atalanta's Zalewski to Lazio's Tavares, who was offered to the Rossoneri in recent days, and Fiorentina's Dodô, as pointed out via Milan News.
Milan's missing piece for the attacking midfield area: Nwaneri offer rejected:
One signing will definitely arrive in the attacking midfield position, where Amorim would like to bring in a talented young left-footed player. Milan recently submitted an official opening offer for Ethan Nwaneri, but Arsenal rejected the Rossoneri's proposal of a loan deal with an option to buy for €40 million. Midtjylland's Osorio remains an option in the background, while Roma's Matías Soulé has seen his chances of joining Milan drop significantly in recent hours.
