AC Milan coach Ruben Amorim outlines transfer targets and fights to keep Maignan, Rabiot

Ruben Amorim, newly appointed head coach of AC Milan, is shaping the club’s squad ahead of the summer window despite the absence of a permanent director of sport. He has personally contacted goalkeeper Mike Maignan and midfielder Adrien Rabiot to persuade them to stay, stressing the club’s project even without Champions League qualification.

Milan’s transfer agenda includes striker Gonçalo Ramos, priced around €50 million, with the possibility of a loan‑with‑option‑to‑buy structure to spread the cost. Other targets mentioned are winger/forward Nkunku, defender Gonçalo Inácio from Sporting Lisbon, and additional central defenders. Financial constraints mean the club may not pay the full fee up front and is exploring loan deals.

Potential exits involve goalkeeper Davide Tomori, forward Lautaro Giménez, and forward Fullkrug, among others, while the club aims to retain key figures such as Christian Pulisic and other core players. Internally, Jovan Kirovski is being considered for a leading management role, with guidance from senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimović, as Amorim proceeds without a designated sporting director.
