AC Milan could still move for a new wing-back before the end of the summer window, despite current priorities lying elsewhere. The 2-2 draw against Celtic in the first summer friendly gave the first indications regarding the style of football that Ruben Amorim wants to implement at Milan. The Portuguese coach is looking to transform the team's defensive approach, focusing on winning the ball back in the opposition's half and being more vertical. This new style will rely heavily on the wing-backs, making their role crucial to the team's success.
The signs are positive for Samuel Chukwueze, who is being transformed from a winger to a wing-back under Amorim's guidance. The Nigerian's assist for Francesco Camarda against Celtic is a promising indication of his potential in this new role. While Chukwueze and Alexis Saelemaekers will provide the attacking flair, Amorim is looking for more balance to ensure the team is not caught off guard in the transition phase.
Pervis Estupinan's potential sale to Aston Villa is on hold as Amorim wants to test the Ecuadorian, convinced he could be a fit for the team. If Estupinan were to leave, a new addition could arrive, with Manchester United's Noussair Mazraoui and the experienced Raphael Guerreiro being potential targets. Guerreiro boasts an impressive resume, with 42 goals and 47 assists in 223 Bundesliga appearances, and is currently free of contractual obligations after ending his contract with Bayern Munich.
The preseason will be crucial in determining the team's needs, and Amorim will be closely watching his players to decide if a new wing-back is necessary. With the transfer window still open, Milan fans will be eagerly awaiting any potential signings to strengthen the team's chances of success in the upcoming season.
