AC Milan undergoes squad overhaul under Ruben Amorim
AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim has initiated a significant squad overhaul, identifying several key players who are no longer part of his long-term project. Among those listed for departure are Christopher Nkunku, Fikayo Tomori, Youssouf Fofana, and David Odogu. Amorim cited the need for tactical change, creating space for younger players, and managing squad size as primary reasons for these decisions.
Transfer activity is intensifying across several fronts. Christopher Nkunku has attracted interest from RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, and Roma, with Milan reportedly setting a price tag around €35 million. Fikayo Tomori is being linked with a potential exchange deal with Lazio involving Nuno Tavares, while Juventus has also expressed interest in the defender and midfielder Youssouf Fofana. Fofana, valued at approximately €20 million, is also being monitored by Premier League clubs Nottingham Forest and Newcastle.
In other moves, Santiago Giménez is nearing a move to FC Porto on a loan with an option to buy, while Rafael Leão has been linked with Galatasaray, though Milan has reportedly lowered its asking price to between €40 million and €45 million. Additionally, the club is monitoring the future of young talent Alphadjo Cissé, who has impressed Amorim with his attitude despite interest from Torino and Sassuolo.
