5 Deals at the Top of Amorim's Priorities This Summer

Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim has started planning to rebuild Milan after taking over the team's technical leadership, placing five key positions at the top of the summer transfer market priorities in preparation for implementing his preferred 3-4-2-1 system.

According to Italian press reports, Amorim believes that Milan needs qualitative reinforcements including: 'two central defenders, a left-back/left-winger, an attacking playmaker, and a central striker.'

In the backline, Portuguese Antonio Silva is one of the prominent names proposed to strengthen the Rossoneri's defense, especially with the team's need for a defensive leader suitable for the three-back system that Amorim relies on. It may also require signing a second defender if some current players leave.

On the left side, the Portuguese coach is looking for a player capable of performing both the winger and full-back roles simultaneously, with Maxi Araujo emerging as one of the preferred options for his tactical fit with the new playing style.

In the forward line, signing a new striker is a top priority, with several reports linking Milan to names like Gonçalo Ramos and Darwin Núñez, both of whom have long been admired by Amorim.

Milan is also seeking an additional playmaker behind the striker, with names like Jan Ouzoun and Trincão appearing on the list of candidates to support attacking creativity in Amorim's new project.

It seems that the summer will be busy in Milan, as the Portuguese coach aims to build a team that aligns with his offensive philosophy and high pressing, in an attempt to bring the Rossoneri back to competing for domestic and European titles after a disappointing season.
