The summer transfer window at AC Milan is taking a radical turn under Rúben Amorim. Having arrived on the rossonero bench with a clear vision of his football, the Portuguese coach is already reshaping his squad. Fikayo Tomori and Christopher Nkunku are among the players whose future at Milan is now uncertain.
A system that redraws the contours of the squad
The decision to part ways with certain players does not rest solely on individual considerations. Amorim wants to implement his 3-4-2-1, a formation that demands a team capable of defending high up the pitch, pressing collectively, and building cleanly from the back. Some profiles fit these requirements less naturally.
Tomori, despite his experience and the importance he has held in the Milan defence, finds himself on the market. Several English clubs have already made enquiries about his situation. For Nkunku, the picture is similar: having arrived from Chelsea, the Frenchman is said not to have convinced Amorim to integrate him as a central element of his project.
The Tomori case, a file of its own
The English defender's situation remains particular, however. His departure would only make sense if the club manages to sufficiently reinforce its defensive unit at the same time. The thinking around Amorim's system specifically highlights the need for centre-backs who are technically comfortable in a back three and capable of playing out cleanly under pressure.
A rossonero revolution barely underway
Milan is therefore looking to find solutions for several players deemed transferable, while actively working on the reinforcements required for the new system. The task is immense.
Amorim is not simply looking to adjust a few pieces: he wants to build a team that fully matches his tactical identity. The coming weeks will be decisive in measuring just how far this rossonero revolution is prepared to go.
