Milan have shifted their attention to Amad Diallo, Savinho and Can Uzun after losing the race for Konstantinos Karetsas, according to Corriere dello Sport (via SempreMilan).
The through-line here is a specific brief from Ruben Amorim: he wants a left-footed attacker to complete his front line, and the squad barely has one. It's the same shortage that keeps coming up whenever Milan's attack is discussed, and it's why the recruitment team keeps circling players who open the pitch from the right and cut inside onto their stronger foot.
Karetsas was the first choice. The 17-year-old Greek fit the profile on age and quality, exactly the kind of long-term build Milan have leaned into. But Borussia Dortmund had been tracking him for longer, and once the German side moved, the fight was effectively over before it started. Corriere frame the missed opportunity around Rafael Leao: with no sale of the Portuguese, Milan didn't have the room to force the Karetsas deal through.
That's the knot in all of this. Nothing moves in attack until Leao moves first, and until there's a concrete offer, these names stay just names.
Diallo is the one that carries weight. Amorim knows him from Manchester United and trusts what he brings, which usually counts for a lot with this manager. The problem is price, and United have no obvious reason to sell a player who broke into their side. Savinho and Uzun are the alternatives on the list, the former a direct, left-footed winger and the latter a young attacking midfielder at Frankfurt. Franco Mastantuono, meanwhile, looks gone, with Real Madrid only prepared to discuss a loan rather than a permanent move.
For now the target has changed but the condition hasn't. Sell Leao, then Milan can go and sign one of these three. Until then, it's a shopping list without a budget, and the decision sits with whoever finally makes a serious bid for the No.10.
