New AC Milan coach Ruben Amorim has wasted no time in reaching out to key players, including Adrien Rabiot and Mike Maignan, who have been linked with summer exits. Amorim wants to reassure them about their roles in his new project. He sees Rabiot as a crucial piece in his midfield plans, envisioning him in a two-man midfield role similar to the one he plays for France.

Rabiot's future had been uncertain, with Napoli reportedly interested in signing him, but Amorim has informed him that he considers him essential to the team. On the other hand, Maignan's agent has been probing the ground for a potential move, especially to the Premier League, despite the goalkeeper renewing his contract with Milan until 2031.

Amorim has also been in touch with other players, including Strahinja Pavlovic, who has pledged his commitment to the club. The Serbian defender expressed his desire to win trophies with Milan, a goal that Amorim shares. The new coach aims to start on a positive note and leave the previous season's disappointment behind.

Amorim's conversations with the players are crucial in shaping his squad for the upcoming season. He wants to build on the progress made by players like Pavlovic and ensure that key players like Rabiot and Maignan are on board with his project.
