AC Milan is preparing for the upcoming season by assessing the returns of players on loan and evaluating their squad needs, including the Europa League campaign. Ruben Amorim will consider the futures of ten players set to return, including Filippo Terracciano, Bondo, and Samu Chukwueze. Some players, like Yunus Musah, may prove useful due to their versatility, while others might be offloaded.

Amorim has begun contacting players to discuss his project and gauge their intentions. The management of these returns will be crucial in shaping the team's future. A few players, including Bondo, Terracciano, and Ismael Bennacer, might be sold, while others could stay. Zvonimir Boban, former Dinamo Zagreb executive, expressed interest in retaining Bennacer but without paying the agreed-upon 10 million euros.

The coach and future management will also need to assess key players like Mike Maignan, Pavlovic, and Adrien Rabiot, as well as those whose futures are uncertain, such as Folarin Tomori and Rafael Leao. With 20 players used in the last season, Amorim may need around ten new signings to complete the squad and compete effectively in the league, Coppa Italia, and European competitions.

The club's strategy will depend on Amorim's evaluations and the players' willingness to stay or leave. The upcoming season promises to be a challenging and transformative period for AC Milan.
