According to MilanNews.it, attacking midfielder Ossola, born in 2007, made a strong impression during the first week of training under new coach Ruben Amorim. Milan will decide his future before their pre-season tour to Oceania.

Ossola could become part of Amorim's new plan.

Amorim has consistently sought an inverted attacking midfielder who can operate behind the front line. Ossola's characteristics perfectly align with his 3-4-2-1 system; he can operate in the half-spaces, drift wide and then move closer to the central striker, demonstrating good technique and unpredictability. It is too early to say he is ready for a permanent spot in the first team, but this summer's pre-season is the best opportunity for the 2007-born youngster to impress the coach and earn his chance.

Amorim has repeatedly demonstrated throughout his coaching career his ability to develop attackers similar to Ossola. At Sporting CP, he transformed Pedro Gonçalves into one of the key players in that position, capable of playing both in midfield and behind the striker. Trincão, under his guidance, also improved his ability to cut inside and combine with the central striker, characteristics he did not possess at Barcelona. At Manchester United, Amorim specifically honed Garnacho, and especially Amad Diallo, praising his significant improvement, with the latter gradually becoming one of his most trusted players.

Milan's Future Project begins to yield results.

Ossola's emergence will also be seen as a victory for Milan's Future Project. This project was designed to help young players grow in a more competitive environment and gradually progress to the first team. Despite not achieving the expected sporting results, this pathway has already helped Davide Bartesaghi develop and establish himself in the first team.

Now, potentially four players from this project could be vying for positions under Ruben Amorim: Francesco Camarda, Christian Comotto, Bartesaghi, and Ossola. Of course, not everyone will stay at Milanello, but Milan Future project's true success is also reflected in young players becoming genuine assets for the first team. Given this momentum, this young attacking midfielder born in 2007 might just be the missing piece Amorim is looking for in his attack.
