During today’s summit between Gerry Cardinale and Ruben Amorim, the bomb squad players were discussed, from Fikayo Tomori to Youssouf Fofana and Santiago Gimenez.

A few weeks back, Amorim decided to exclude Christopher Nkunku, Tomori, Fofana and Gimenez from the match squads and group training. In short, he established a ‘bomb squad’ to make it very clear that they need to leave Milan to get playing time.

It worked with Nkunku, who reached an agreement to join Leipzig on loan, but now destinations must be found for the other players. This is something that Milan discussed during the transfer market summit earlier today .

Complicated situations

According to the latest from MilanNews , Milan are working on the exits of all three. They were in talks with Porto over Gimenez not too long ago, and while those negotiations hit a stalemate, Jorge Mendes has now been brought in to mediate the situation to reach an agreement.

For Fofana, meanwhile, there is optimism that a club will be found in these final days, even if the player has hinted that he won’t leave unless the move is just right. Moving on to Tomori, as things stand, there are no concrete options on the table for him.

By the sounds of it, the Rossoneri still have a lot of work to do on this front and not a lot of time, which isn’t exactly a great combination.
