AC Milan move to reshape their forward options as coach Rúben Amorim signals he is moving on from Rafael Leão. Multiple reports say Leão has fallen further out of Amorim’s plans, effectively leaving him frozen out of the team’s immediate attacking plans.
In response, Milan’s recruitment attention turns toward Said El Mala of 1. FC Köln. Football Italia and Yahoo Sports both link the club’s interest to Amorim’s desire for alternatives in attack, framing the move as part of a broader tactical and squad overhaul rather than a single isolated change.
While the outlets agree on the core direction—Leão sidelined under Amorim and Milan scouting El Mala for a potential solution—the coverage emphasizes different angles. Football Italia focuses on the internal shift in Amorim’s selection and how it impacts Leão’s role, whereas Yahoo Sports foregrounds the reported connection to Corriere dello Sport and Milan’s pursuit of El Mala. Neither report, in the provided excerpts, specifies a completed deal or a timeline for negotiations.
