# AC Milan transfer updates and Serie A preparations > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/ac-milan-and-torino-serie-a-preparations > Updated: 2026-08-18T05:59:57.000Z. Sources: 30. Developments: 2. AC Milan continues its squad overhaul under owner Gerry Cardinale and manager Ruben Amorim, with the club committing approximately 150 million euros to new signings to ensure long-term stability. Key acquisitions include Belgian winger Diego Moreira from Strasbourg for a reported fee of approximately €50 million, signing through June 2031. The club also secured Portuguese striker Gonçalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain in a club-record deal worth 74 million euros. Facilitated personally by Cardinale, Ramos has begun integrating into Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation, notably recording a header and two assists during a friendly against Manchester United. As the club prepares for the Serie A opener against Torino, it faces significant injury setbacks. Rafael Leão is sidelined with a quadriceps injury, which may impact his availability for the league opener. Additionally, Christian Pulisic’s availability remains uncertain due to a recent injury, potentially forcing Amorim to start Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze. The transfer market remains active, with previous discussions involving agent Jorge Mendes regarding a potential swap deal for Rafael Leão and Manchester City’s Ruben Dias. The club also continues to manage player departures and the futures of various squad members as it implements Amorim’s offensive tactical vision. ## Claims - Torino will face Milan in their Serie A season opener on Sunday at 20:45 at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
