AC Milan’s Transfer Window Woes: CorSport Predicts Busy Period Ahead

FolioPitch.com – 08 August 2026 | AC Milan‘s transfer window is set to spring back into life, according to CorSport, as the Rossoneri look to address their squad’s size and balance. The Italian giants have been struggling to make headway in the market so far, but it seems that a clear strategy is now in place. CorSport reports that Ruben Amorim, AC Milan’s new coach, has informed the club’s management that next week he will reveal the players who will be sold. The squad is deemed too large to work effectively, and therefore a significant number of departures will be necessary.

Several players have been under observation during AC Milan’s friendly games against Chelsea and Manchester United, and it’s expected that this will continue until the final preseason game on August 15th. The prime suspect to leave is Pervis Estupiñán, but neither Yunus Musah nor Youssouf Fofana are guaranteed to stay. Samuele Ricci will also have to earn a place in the team, while David Odogu is not considered indispensable in defense and is being pursued by some clubs, even on loan. Milan are considering selling Fikayo Tomori, who is popular with Coventry City, Newcastle United, and Juventus.

Galatasaray appear ready to raise their offer for Rafael Leao, with their initial bid of €30m plus €5m in bonuses having been rejected. AC Milan are asking for €50m, but a new offer of €40-45m is expected. A €12-13m net salary is required for the Portuguese winger.

Reinforcements are also being targeted, with a rather sensational rumor having surfaced from Argentina. AC Milan are interested in Boca Juniors’ Leandro Paredes, with the Rossoneri working on an offer. The Argentine midfielder would slot in front of the defense and tactically he would be an ideal reinforcement. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is another experienced name that Amorim seems to be an admirer of. Finally, there’s the idea of signing Dario Osorio, a Chilean winger from Midtjylland, who could play on the right flank and cut in onto his left foot.

AC Milan’s transfer window is expected to be a busy period, and it’s clear that the club’s management is working hard to strengthen the squad. The sales of several players will be necessary to pursue some of the targets, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops in the coming weeks.

In related news, AC Milan have announced that they have mutually terminated Ismaël Bennacer’s contract.
