There is plenty to do at Milan this summer. In a World Cup year, after another disappointing finish, the club must dust themselves off and go again with aspirations of entering the Champions League next season at the very least.
It will not be easy and the squad certainly needs work. However, there will be no recruitment yet. In fact, it may be late July when the Rossoneri make moves in the mercato.
Amorim’s decision
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, via MilanNews, the Portuguese coach will only make decisions about the mercato once he has assessed his squad.
“Amorim wants to study the available squad in depth before making any decisions: the first objective is to analyse the entire group of players before making decisions on who should leave, stay, or arrive.”
This doesn’t mean that targets will not be identified in the meantime; he will have an idea of the profiles and roles he wants within his team. However, he will not authorise or push for moves until he has seen what he has available.
