In pre-season, certain players will be given chances to impress Ruben Amorim and they could even become key players for AC Milan.
Ahead of the new season, a lot has been said about Amorim’s desire to assess everyone at the club. Indeed, he wants to get a complete view of the squad, including those who spent last season away from Milanello.

So, your mind may instantly go to the youngsters. However, they are not the only ones who could get a look in. Indeed, some of the senior loan players from last season could be reassessed, and this may mean players like Yunus Musah will be given a chance.
Amorim’s admissions about the squad
During his press conference earlier today, Amorim was asked about who could be re-evaluated and his reply was certainly interesting.
“There are some players who weren’t here last year. Chukwueze is staying with us, we need players who can play one-on-one. Saelemaekers can play left or right; he likes to play one-on-one.
“Cissè and Comotto will start with us, I don’t know what will happen. We’ll find new players who weren’t here last year. If they play well, if they absorb my ideas, then we’ll find a place for them: before looking outside, let’s look carefully inside.
“Then after the preseason we’ll decide, but always with an eye on the budget. The owner is here… [he laughs] We’ll evaluate the young players; Chukwueze has great qualities and gives us alternatives.”
It is also worth noting that, when discussing Christian Pulisic, the traits discussed seemed to be for both wingers and Chukwueze would fit the bill.
“I have clear ideas about how I want to see him play. With his right foot on the left side, but also on the other side. Although I want him between the lines, not with his feet on the line. He’s well-liked at the club, and the whole team is behind him to make the most of him.
We shall have to see, of course, but it seems the Nigerian’s story could be re-written this summer.
If before the WC ends we can get rid of RLC, Tomori, Terracciano, Bondo, Bennacer and resign Modric. Things should go smoother:
Musah/Estupinan for the wing-back depth as a potential 5th man, allowing Barte to also play as LCB.
Comotto, Chukwueze (RWB might not be so bad), Cisse have the best chances for sure to get into the squad.
Leao will be a saga unfortunately.
Zeroli and Odogu should be going to some low tier Serie A or top Serie B team.
hopefully Inacio, Zalewski, and quality CAM/wingers will follow soon enough.
No no no
Bartesaghi isn’t a CB.
Estupinian played badly.
I don’t trust Musah not even as a sub
Odogu can stay
Zeroli only if Amorim agrees to stay otherwise sell ASAP
Zalewski isn’t good enough to play for Milan.
I agree for the sales except for Bondo bc I believe he’s good just needs someone who trusts him if Amorim disagrees then sell ofc
I’d rather sign Ousmane Diomande and for CAM Alajbegovic and Moleiro or Ismaila Sarr?
You don’t watch the games right?
I even forgot about estupinan.
I think Bennacer is matter of time. Question is Fofana Ruben Tomori and of course Rafael.
I think there is around 90 million of plusvalenza in combined with europa league, that is where they look for money to have 250 million mercato
Bonomi Scotti Sia are better than Cisse.
But hey idk
Maignan, Terracciano, Torriani
De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic
Odogu, Athekame, Bartesaghi
Saelemaekers, Modric, Rabiot
