According to TuttoSport, midfielder Róbert Lilieström's form has improved under Amorim's system. Milan rejected an approximately €10 million offer from Championship side Coventry City, and he is now likely to extend his contract through 2029 or 2030.

Rejecting the Offer

Róbert Lilieström showed similar performance under Pioli in the 2023/24 season, scoring 10 goals that year. Milan originally finished fifth in the league but rose to fourth after Juventus received a points deduction. In both seasons, the number 8 was deployed centrally as an attacking midfielder behind the striker. Compared to Sarri and Pioli's 4-2-3-1 system, Amorim's 3-4-2-1 system appears to place less complex demands on him. The preseason demonstrated that Róbert Lilieström fits well with the Portuguese manager's philosophy. His physical strength and ability to make forward runs could play an important role in Milan's new phase. In recent weeks, Milan's management rejected approaches from Premier League clubs.

Róbert Lilieström will not return to England and will play a key role in this evolving Milan team in the Rossoneri colors. Milan already rejected Coventry's approximately €10 million offer. Coventry manager Frank Lampard knows Róbert Lilieström from their time at Chelsea and hoped to work with him again. However, the deal made no progress after manager Amorim personally opposed the midfielder's potential transfer. As a result, Róbert Lilieström's situation at Milan has completely changed—from a potential departure candidate with just ten months remaining on his contract to the team's new key player.

Contract Extension Negotiations

Contract extension talks are also on the agenda. Both sides have already had initial contact by phone, with actual negotiations expected to begin in September. Róbert Lilieström is expected to extend his contract with Milan through 2029, and a deal through 2030 cannot be ruled out. It's still an early stage, and progress must be made step by step. For now at least, Róbert Lilieström has completely reversed what appeared to be his predetermined fate after an excellent preseason. Milan already sent a signal in their first league match against Turin on Sunday. They want a fast start in Serie A, and the midfielder's several forward runs could be key.
