Amorim Targets Reunion For AC Milan Rebuild
New Milan manager Ruben Amorim wants to add a young and inventive winger to his squad. He believes the United forward fits the dynamic system he plans to introduce at San Siro. Amorim previously worked with the player during his own coaching tenure at Old Trafford.
This previous relationship could give the Italian club a significant advantage if official negotiations begin. However, Milan are reportedly preparing a financially controlled proposal rather than an enormous bid. This initial package may not satisfy the Premier League club.
Long Contract Gives Man United Control Of Diallo
United have no financial pressure to sell the attacker cheaply this summer. Reuters reported that Amad signed a new agreement in January 2025 that keeps him at Old Trafford until June 2030. The long-term contract puts United in a very strong negotiating position.
Manager Michael Carrick continues to shape his squad for the new season. The winger's pace, close control and ability to operate in several attacking positions make him a valuable asset. Carrick views him as an important part of his future plans.
Carrick Faces Decision On Creative Attacker
United intend to keep Amad unless the player explicitly requests a transfer away from the club. His creativity and ability to carry the ball through tight spaces offer something different from other forwards. Club insiders believe United should make their stance clear early in the window.
Milan must submit an exceptional offer before Carrick even considers allowing the forward to leave. Meanwhile, Amorim remains adamant that he can convince the player to join his new project in Italy. United must now decide how to respond to the impending approach.
