AC Milan invests over 150 million to reign again

The AC Milan has surpassed 150 million euros in investments in the summer transfer market to assemble the squad of Ruben Amorim. The AC Milan's transfer market has been one of the best in European football.

Gerry Cardinale's ownership has finalized the signings of Gonçalo Ramos, Diego Moreira, Mario Gila, and Sankhoun Diawara to face Serie A and the Europa League, following their failure to qualify for the Champions League in the 2025/2026 season under Massimiliano Allegri's management.

Breakdown of AC Milan's investments in the summer market

Most of the budget allocated by Cardinale was used for the acquisition of forward Gonçalo Ramos, sealed for 75 million euros plus additional bonuses. For the attacking line, AC Milan also secured winger Diego Moreira through a transfer of 50 million euros plus incentives.

On the defensive front, the rossoneri board completed the signing of center-back Mario Gila for 30 million euros, reinforcing the three-man backline requested by Amorim. The last confirmed addition was Belgian wing-back Sankhoun Diawara, acquired for a figure between 2 and 3 million euros.

Ruben Amorim's system and Rafael Leao's situation

Amorim envisions a 3-4-2-1 setup with Mike Maignan in goal and a defense consisting of Strahinja Pavlovic, Gila, and Fikayo Tomori. The double pivot will feature Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot—with Ardon Jashari as a backup—while the flanks will be occupied by Pervis Estupiñán and Alexis Saelemaekers.

In the attacking midfield, Moreira will line up with Christian Pulisic behind Ramos, positioning Rafael Leao on the way out. Leao is not part of the Portuguese coach's priority plans and has offers from various Turkish clubs, although he will get minutes if his sale is not finalized before September 1, 2026.

The AC Milan will hold meetings with Turkish counterparts over the next 48 hours to resolve Leao's transfer. The departure of the Portuguese forward would allow AC Milan to have additional wage margin to make one final midfield signing before their official season debut.
