AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale called the entire Milan hierarchy together, along with manager Ruben Amorim. The only item on the agenda was the transfer window — specifically, how to provide the new manager with the squad of players he needs to mount a challenge for the title and the club’s second star above the crest. Milan’s priority is to sell a number of players who are on high salaries but are not first-choice options for Amorim.It didn't start well: Amorim winless in three games, with Man United clash loomingThose players include Leao, Youssouf Fofana, Tomori, Loftus-Cheek, Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku. At the same time, Amorim has taken Maignan and Rabiot off the transfer list. Milan captain Maignan, despite his controversial decisions this June — including not attending Baresi’s funeral and extending his holiday — remains a cornerstone of the Rossoneri. As for Rabiot, Amorim has big plans for him, as he wants to use him as an attacking playmaker in either a 3-4-1-2 or 3-4-2-1 formation. Leao remains Milan’s biggest problem, and the club hopes that Galatasaray will be forced to respond to the moves made by Besiktas and Fenerbahçe, who strengthened their squads this week with Dusan Vlahovic and Romelu Lukaku, respectively.Milan cannot find a buyer for LeaoGalatasaray offered only 30 million euros during the latest round of negotiations, which is far too little considering that Milan are unwilling to even enter serious talks for anything below their asking price. The unfavorable circumstance for the Rossoneri is that nobody other than the Turkish clubs has shown interest in Leao. The only alternative is for Amorim to succeed where his compatriots Conceiçao and Fonseca failed: to revive Leao, assuming that is actually possible.##NAJAVA_MECA_9895124##
