Latest news at Milan. Rúben Amorim has informed the players who do not fit into his plans for the 2026/27 season, with Fikayo Tomori, Youssouf Fofana, and Christopher Nkunku among those singled out. The Portuguese coach is also considering the departures of Rafael Leão, Pervis Estupiñán, and Santiago Giménez if offers that satisfy the club are received.

The decision comes during the preparation for the new season and after several weeks of evaluation. Milan had already used the pre-season to define the squad, although Tomori, Fofana, and Nkunku had been included in Amorim's initial call-ups.

Rúben Amorim points out Tomori, Fofana, and Nkunku

Fikayo Tomori, a 28-year-old defender, is among the players available to leave. The Englishman is under contract with Milan until 2027 and has already attracted interest from clubs in the Premier League, including Newcastle and Coventry City.

Tomori's situation has changed during the pre-season. The center-back was called up by Amorim for the summer tour but was then left out of the friendly against Chelsea, a move interpreted as a signal regarding his future in the team.

The case of Youssouf Fofana also points to an exit. The 27-year-old French midfielder had participated in the early preparatory matches and even scored during a game against Milan Futuro, but he is now one of the players whom the Portuguese coach does not consider necessary for his project.

Christopher Nkunku completes this group of exclusions. The French forward was included in Amorim's initial pre-season squad, although he later missed the friendly against Celtic due to muscle discomfort.

Milan also opens the door for Leão and Giménez

Amorim's list does not imply that all the mentioned players must leave Milan. In the cases of Rafael Leão, Pervis Estupiñán, and Santiago Giménez, the situation depends on waiting for a proposal that meets the club's financial conditions.

Leão, a 27-year-old, remains one of the main assets of the squad, but Milan is willing to consider offers for the Portuguese player. Galatasaray has emerged as one of the interested clubs and is preparing an offer ranging between 40 and 45 million euros, according to recent reports.

Estupiñán's situation is different. The Ecuadorian full-back had initially been linked with a possible move to Aston Villa, but that possibility was ruled out after the English club completed the signing of Matteo Ruggeri. Milan must now seek another destination for the player if they decide to sell him.

With Giménez, the scenario is also open. Porto is currently the club that has made the most progress for the Mexican forward, while Real Betis has made an inquiry, although there is no close agreement yet.

A squad that still needs to be reduced

Amorim's planning now involves turning these discards into concrete operations. Milan will need to find destinations for Tomori, Fofana, and Nkunku, while assessing offers that may come for Leão, Estupiñán, and Giménez.

The next step will be to negotiate exits during the remaining weeks of the transfer market. Tomori's situation has already attracted interest from the Premier League, while Fofana also has a market in England and France; therefore, Milan could activate several deals before the deadline.
