The arrival of Gonçalo Ramos and Gila at Milan has prompted a reassessment of players already within the squad, according to reports. The club is prioritizing evaluation of existing resources before further investment, particularly while awaiting potentially lucrative player sales.
Samuel Chukwueze and Christopher Nkunku are among those being closely examined by new manager Amorim. Nkunku’s situation is particularly noteworthy, having been previously considered surplus to requirements despite a €37 million transfer fee (plus bonuses) paid to Chelsea last summer. However, a slight upturn in form towards the end of the previous season, coupled with Amorim’s tactical system, has led to a potential change in status for the French midfielder. The 3-4-2-1 formation favored by Amorim appears well-suited to Nkunku’s skillset, positioning him as a key player in the attacking midfield role.
Chukwueze, who recently returned from a loan spell at Fulham, is also experiencing a shift in perception. Amorim publicly stated his intention to retain the Nigerian winger, and is currently testing him on the right flank, though a role in the attacking midfield is also being considered. This represents a positive development for Chukwueze, whose return had not initially generated significant excitement within the club. The potential for him to resolve a problem position for Milan is now being explored.
American midfielder Yunus Musah, also returning from a loan, faces a more uncertain future. While Amorim will assess his capabilities, Musah is currently considered the most at-risk of the three players. He will be evaluated primarily for a role on the right flank, a position where his versatility could be valuable. Furthermore, young prospects Camarda and Comotto, both returning from loan spells, are also under consideration, with the club determining whether they will feature in the upcoming season or be loaned out again. The upcoming pre-season tour will be crucial in providing Amorim with further insights into their potential. These evaluations are intended to provide tactical flexibility and potentially avoid further transfer spending until funds become available from player sales.
These internal assessments could provide valuable solutions for Milan as they navigate the transfer window and build a squad capable of competing in Serie A.
