Milan is searching the transfer market for a left-footed attacking midfielder to improve the team's technical level, while also dealing with Leão's transfer saga.

According to Corriere dello Sport, this is a specific request from coach Amorim, who is currently in Australia leading the team's physical preparation but maintains continuous communication with the club management and owner Gerry Cardinale. In previous weeks, the Rossoneri had vigorously pursued the technically gifted and imaginative left-footed Caretas, and also attempted to sign Alahibegovic, but the latter ultimately joined Juventus. In recent hours, Milan's transfer team has contacted Arsenal regarding Nwaneri. The 19-year-old English player (who also holds Nigerian nationality) is attracting attention from half of Europe.

Arsenal is deciding whether to keep Nwaneri (with the risk of limited playing time this season) or loan him out for further development. This left-footed attacking midfielder possesses excellent technical ability, and Arsenal's asking price is already high, at least 35 million euros, with current competition being quite intense. Premier League teams like Fulham and Everton, as well as Bundesliga clubs like Leipzig, are all preparing bids. Milan is one of the interested clubs, hoping to add a player with Nwaneri's characteristics to their squad. There are no formal negotiations yet, but Milan has indeed made a confirmed exploratory contact. A possible solution for a deal is a direct purchase, but with a buy-back clause retained by Arsenal.

in the past. The 19-year-old player is favored for his imagination and ability to deliver the final pass behind the striker, despite some adaptation difficulties last season. He only made 11 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist in a total of 422 minutes. The season before, at Arsenal, Arteta gave him 37 appearances in the Premier League, domestic cups, and Champions League, and Nwaneri repaid him with a total of 9 goals.

from Spain. Another name Milan received is 18-year-old Argentine Mastantono, who is about to leave Real Madrid. Real Madrid is trying to loan him out purely, but Milan is not entirely convinced by this format, hoping to at least include a buy-out option, or even a mandatory buy-out clause under specific conditions. There are many interested teams, including Fiorentina and Roma in Serie A, and clubs in other European leagues are also ready to take him. The player himself is also pushing for a move to Serie A. For Amorim's 3-4-2-1 formation, this would be an imaginative signing. In addition, the evaluation list also includes Matias Soulé, who is about to leave Roma.

tug-of-war. Meanwhile, Rafael Leão is training with Milan in Perth, awaiting news about his future. The Portuguese has not yet reached a financial agreement with Fenerbahçe or Galatasaray, demanding an annual salary of over 12 million euros. Milan has reiterated to the two Turkish clubs that they will not accept offers below 50 million euros, and the current offers have not yet reached this figure. Negotiations will continue in the coming hours, but a breakthrough in this deal may only come in the second half of August.
