Milan want to raise roughly €150m by selling seven players this summer, with the exits designed to fund the squad Ruben Amorim actually wants, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via SempreMilan).
The logic is straightforward: Milan aren't in the Champions League, the wage bill still carries names inherited from the previous project, and Amorim's 3-4-3 asks for profiles the current squad doesn't fully have. Every incoming signing needs a paying outgoing, and Igli Tare has drawn up a list of who doesn't fit.
Pervis Estupinan is the first to move. Aston Villa are closing in, with Milan expected to bring in around €15m, down from an initial ask of €20m, but acceptable given he only arrived last summer. Fikayo Tomori is priced at a similar €15m, with his 2027 contract weakening Milan's leverage. Selling an England international centre-back for that figure isn't ideal, but he was signed for €28.5m back in 2021, so five years of service and a modest fee still leaves this as reasonable business.
The Rafael Leão question sits on top of everything. The €175m release clause is theatre — nobody triggers that — so Milan's realistic floor is around €60m. His camp has floated him to Tottenham and there's been noise around Manchester United, without either turning into a concrete negotiation. Calls from Saudi Arabia and Turkey are easier to come by, but Leão views those as a last resort. He reports to Perth on July 29th unless something moves before then.
Santiago Gimenez is the other awkward one. Bought from Feyenoord for €28.5m plus bonuses just eighteen months ago, Milan need at least €21m to book anything other than a loss on him — and he's currently dealing with an ankle problem, which doesn't help the sales pitch. Gonçalo Ramos will start ahead of him, so Rafaela Pimenta is looking for a landing spot.
In midfield, Youssouf Fofana is available at €20m. His profile — a box-to-box runner rather than a controller — doesn't slot cleanly into Amorim's double pivot. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is in the same boat with a year left on his deal, and Warren Bondo is already training away from the group, which is usually how these things end. Milan expect around €16m combined from Bondo and Loftus-Cheek.
Add it up and the €150m target is ambitious rather than fanciful: Leão alone carries most of the weight, and if his exit stalls, the whole plan tightens. That's the file on Tare's desk, and the answer will shape what Milan can actually spend before the window shuts.
