After a meeting with Gerry Cardinale, owner of Milan, Amorim indicated that Fikayo Tomori, David Odogu, Youssouf Fofana and Christopher Nkunku are not part of the priority plans for the new season, according to the Italian press.
Nkunku's presence among the available names draws attention due to the space that the attacker was occupying in the squad. Tomori also aroused interest in the market, but the defender's salaries are seen as an obstacle to possible negotiations.
The reformulation should not stop at these exits. Milan is monitoring opportunities to strengthen different sectors and has Bruno Fernandes as one of the main names desired by the coaching staff.
Bruno Fernandes is Milan's dream
The Manchester United captain appears to be a big target for Ruben Amorim and the Italian board. The 31-year-old midfielder has a clause valued at 60 million euros and has already worked with the coach at the English club.
Juventus and Galatasaray are also monitoring the player's situation. Bruno Fernandes, however, would be inclined to remain at Manchester United, where he has a contract until 2027, with the possibility of an extension for another season.
The scenario could change if the English club decides to negotiate the athlete. The board has previously demonstrated a willingness to evaluate proposals considered financially advantageous and could take advantage of the window to obtain a high sum for the captain.
Bruno Fernandes remains one of the main references in the squad currently led by Michael Carrick.
Rafael Leão has an undefined future
Another situation closely monitored by Milan involves Rafael Leão. The striker suffered a muscle injury and is at risk of not being available for the team's official debut of the season.
The physical issue is not the only doubt involving the player. Leão has already expressed his desire to look for a new club, but, so far, no team has reached the value of approximately 50 million euros intended by Milan.
Until a suitable proposal emerges, the attacker remains integrated into the squad and has his situation assessed by the board.
Ruben Amorim still wants more reinforcements
In addition to Bruno Fernandes, the coach is also following other options to complete the group. The intention is to first reduce the number of available players and, based on exit negotiations, open financial and sporting space for new signings.
The planning takes place on the eve of the last test before the start of the season. AC Milan and Manchester United face each other this Saturday, starting at 3:45 pm, in Wroclaw, Poland, in a friendly preparation match.
The match will pit Ruben Amorim and some of his former teammates face to face and will take place just as the two clubs move the market in search of the latest adjustments for 2026/27.
