AC Milan have two signings so far, but as highlighted by Andrea Longoni in his latest editorial, they need more than that. Especially if they want to be a Ruben Amorim side.

With the arrivals of Mario Gila and Goncalo Ramos, Milan have certainly bolstered the team a whole lot. Both will be starters this upcoming season and should add a lot of quality to the side, but there is more work to be done.
In his latest editorial for MilanNews, Longoni shared his thoughts on the mercato so far. He made sure to highlight that four more signings are needed, from defence to attack. One of them, however, could be a little bit more defining from Amorim’s point of view.
“There’s a lot to do this summer. With the excellent Gila now included, another centre-back will be crucial. This is by no means disrespect to Gabbia, a player who will be a valuable asset this season as well. He’s also one of the few Italians in the squad.
“In midfield, a starter is missing alongside Rabiot. Modric will need to be managed, and Jashari remains a huge unknown quantity. The Swiss player failed this season, partly due to injury, but he returned in November and hasn’t shown anything.
“It’s right to keep Jashari in the squad to rejuvenate him, but he can’t be considered a key player in the starting eleven right now.
“Then there’s the winger and the attacking midfielder. The latter, in particular, could be the defining signing that will provide a clear and distinct image of what, once fully operational, will be Amorim’s Milan,” he wrote.
The next few weeks should make things clearer, especially since Milan also need to start working more on sales. After all, they won’t be able to make the signings highlighted by Longoni if they don’t wave goodbye to a few players first.
