Work continues by the AC Milan management on trimming the squad down, and an enquiry has arrived over a young talent. Ruben Amorim’s first summer at Milan continues with the preseason campaign (almost) over. The last outing against Chelsea wasn’t particularly positive, while the tests against Celtic and Inter were certainly better. Read SempreMilan ad-free and get access to exclusive news.

Throughout all of this, the transfer market remains a key focus for the Portuguese manager’s squad, especially regarding outgoings given there are over 30 players in the squad. Based on the reports in the past 24 hours, it seems as though Youssouf Fofana, Samuele Ricci, Fikayo Tomori and even Zachary Athekame are the names that haven’t convinced Amorim so far. Meanwhile, the match against Torino, scheduled for August 23rd, is approaching. According to Matteo Moretto (via MilanNews), the Granata have actually asked for information about signing young talent Alphadjo Cissè. We’ll see if this situation gains momentum in the coming hours and if Milan are willing to sanction his exit. As a reminder, Cisse was signed from Hellas Verona having impressed on loan at Catanzaro in Serie B. He missed almost all of the second half of the season with a serious muscle issue that needed surgery, but Amorim has used him in each of the friendlies so far, so he clearly sees something.
