Milan is Being Rebuilt from Scratch: Ruben Amorim's Demands for an Artistic Revolution

The Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim believes that AC Milan's new project cannot begin without a comprehensive restructuring, given the clear delay in the club's transfer market activities.

According to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the current unstable administrative situation gives the coach greater influence in determining the team's needs, due to the absence of a clear sports structure so far. This reality forces the club to expedite efforts to prepare a squad capable of implementing the coach's ideas before the season starts.

In the backline, Amorim places top priority on signing a center-back with high quality in building play from the back, an element he considers essential to his style. Names like Pavlovic, Gabbia, De Winter, and Tomori are seen as insufficient to meet the demands of modern play, whether in terms of ball distribution or harmony with the goalkeeper. Therefore, the main target in this area is a "playmaking" defender capable of confidently leading the build-up from the back.

As for the flanks, Amorim's tactical idea relies heavily on width and depth in play, making the wings a fundamental part of his project. The current reliance on names like Saelemaekers alone seems insufficient, given the presence of young or unprepared players like Attikami and Bartisaghi, with Estupiñán set to leave. Meanwhile, Chukwueze will get a real chance for evaluation, but there remains an urgent need for a strong, top-tier left winger.

In midfield and attack, the coach believes that the potential duo of Rabiot and Jashari could form the core of the midfield, but the team lacks depth following the possible departure of several names like Fofana and Loftus-Cheek. The team also needs an additional playmaker behind the forwards to enhance offensive effectiveness. Up front, signing a decisive striker remains an absolute priority, despite Jimenez's desire to prove himself, while Gonzalo Ramos emerges as a strong option to lead the attack and build a long-term project.
