AC Milan launches squad overhaul under new coach Ruben Amorim

AC Milan has entered a comprehensive rebuilding phase after finishing fifth in Serie A and missing the Champions League. New manager Ruben Amorim, appointed to replace the outgoing sporting director and CEO, has been given clear instructions to reshape the roster. Key departures include forward Rafael Leão, who is expected to leave for a Premier League club, midfielder Ruben Loftus‑Cheek and defender Strahinja Pavlović, moves aimed at freeing funds and fitting Amorim’s 3‑4‑2‑1 system.

At the same time, Milan is reportedly scouting Brazilian Flamengo midfielder Evertton Araújo (born 2003). Brazilian media claim the club has tabled a €15 million offer and a five‑year contract for the youngster, though Italian sources have not confirmed any official proposal. The interest reflects Milan’s strategy of acquiring young talent that can be developed and later sold for profit.
