AC Milan are gearing up for the next season with a focus on building a strong squad. Before making any new signings, the club needs to offload players who don't fit into their plans.

Ruben Amorim, the new head coach, has identified two key players he wants to retain. He has emphasized to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gerry Cardinale that Strahinja Pavlovic and Christian Pulisic are essential to his strategy.

The pair are admired by several clubs across Europe, but Milan are expected to hold firm and keep them at the club. Pavlovic and Pulisic are seen as vital components of Amorim's vision for the upcoming season.

Amorim's approach is centered around utilizing the skills of these two players. Their retention will likely influence Milan's transfer dealings this summer, with the club aiming to strengthen their squad while keeping key assets.
