Ruben Amorim asks for two players from AC Milan... and Sporting to prepare

O winter transfer market opens in just over a month and a half, and AC Milan is already actively working on acquiring reinforcements that Ruben Amorim understands are in short supply to have a second half of 2026/27 sports season, at least more stable than the first.

According to the Wednesday edition of the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, the Portuguese coach will have asked the owner, Gerry Cardinale, at least two new players. More specifically, a central defense and a spearhead, and there are already names in the gutter to occupy both vacancies.

As far as the most backward sector of the land is concerned, the “principal objective” can be read, it remains Gonçalo Inacio, an international Portuguese who the helmsman of the rossoneri so well knows, since he was responsible for launching it in the main team of Sporting, on October 4, 2020, in the victory achieved in the visit to the Portimonense, by 0-2.

The seixalense would even become one of the players most used by the Lisboner, during the passage by the José Alvalade Stadium, but ‘rescue it’ cannot be guessed, at all, a simple operation, immediately, because it renewed contract with the lions, less than a year ago, until June 2030.

Gonçalo Inacio is, moreover, ‘armored’ by a termination clause worth EUR 60 million, and he covers the captain armband of the team now guided by Paulo Fonseca, so the historic transalpine formation will have no alternative but to be ‘note bag’, if you want to take it in January.

Alternative to Gonçalo Ramos is identified

For the attack, the aim of AC Milan is to recruit a player who is able to ‘shade’ the usual holder, also Portuguese Gonçalo Ramos, who is far from convincing, since he adds only three goals and two assists after 14 games, after having been acquired from Paris Saint-Germain, for about 74 million euros.

In this plan, the strongest candidate gives the name Nicolò Tresoldi, a natural advance from Cagliari, in Italy, who chose to represent the young selections of Germany (though he also has an Argentine passport), and who has been taking notice, at the service of Club Brugge, scoring 14 goals and giving one to score, in 17 matches made.

Nevertheless, as with Gonçalo Ignatius, the rossonero emblem knows that this is a dossier that will have to be managed ‘with tweezers’, since the Belgians consider the young promise to be their main sport asset, in such a way that last summer they even rejected a proposal from AS Roma worth EUR 35 million.

At the moment, the goalie's pass is valued at about 50 million euros, which would make him the second player ever hired by AC Milan, surpassed only... by Gonçalo Ramos, and in equality with what the club paid Strasbourg for Diego Moreira, also in the last defense.
