AC Milan has entered a period of transition under new manager Ruben Amorim. Following a preseason tour, the club began significant squad restructuring, excluding players such as Youssouf Fofana, David Odogu, and Christopher Nkunku from Amorim’s tactical project. While the club sought a permanent sale for Nkunku, other players like Ruben Loftus-Cheek secured central roles in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system. Efforts to secure Adrien Rabiot’s long-term future have progressed. Following discussions with his agent, Veronique, a formal meeting between owner Gerry Cardinale and Rabiot’s representative is expected by the end of the summer transfer window. The club aims to extend Rabiot’s contract, which currently runs until 2028, to at least 2030, offering a proposed salary of €5 million to reflect his status as “indispensable to the midfield.” As the Serie A season begins, Milan faced a high-stakes match against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium. The fixture, part of the third round of the league, resulted in a 0-0 draw. Milan’s lineup featured striker Gonçalo Ramos, midfielder Luka Modrić, and a starting debut for Diego Moreira, whom Amorim described as a “courageous player.” In a subsequent high-profile Serie A derby at the Allianz Stadium, Milan and Juventus played to a 1-1 draw. After a scoreless majority of the match, 19-year-old Alphadjo Cisse put Milan ahead in the 68th minute following an assist from Samuel Chukwueze. Juventus equalized in the 92nd minute via a Federico Gatti ~~header.~~ header following a Teun Koopmeiners cross. This result left both teams with seven points after three matches, trailing leaders Roma and Inter. Following the result, Amorim noted that while the squad showed potential, they lacked execution in fundamental areas such as passing and ball control.
