AC Milan faces leadership vacuum as new coach seeks attacking reinforcements

AC Milan has appointed Portuguese manager Rubén Amorim but remains without a sporting director or technical director, leaving key transfer decisions stalled. The club’s hierarchy was reshaped after the dismissal of Giorgio Furlani, Geoffrey Moncada and Igli Tare, yet no permanent replacements have been named, prompting criticism from former officials and media. Amorim’s priority is strengthening the attack; reports indicate a strong interest in Paris Saint‑Germain striker Gonçalo Ramos, with Milan reportedly ready to match Rafael Leão’s salary to secure the deal. Other potential targets mentioned include Santiago Giménez (as a possible sale to fund Ramos), Memphis Depay, and even a free‑transfer option on a veteran from Corinthians. Concurrently, RedBird Capital Partners, the new owners, have launched a marketing overhaul, modernising branding, digital platforms and fan engagement, while also financing the club’s debt restructuring. The leadership gap was highlighted by the club’s absence from a pre‑FIGC dinner in Rome, underscoring the uncertainty surrounding its representation in Italian football’s governing bodies. Former player Dejan Savićević warned that striker Rafael Leão should not be relied upon this summer, reflecting broader concerns about squad planning amid the administrative limbo.
