Milan are reportedly planning another two signings following a long summit with Gerry Cardinale, but are struggling to find new clubs for Santiago Gimenez and Fikayo Tomori.

The Rossoneri won their first two Serie A games of the season, beating Torino 2-1 and Venezia 2-0 , both times with important boosts off the bench.

Multiple sources including MilanNews and MilanPress confirm there was a summit today between patron Cardinale and coach Ruben Amorim to discuss the transfer strategy in the final days of the summer.

They are to be the replacements for Christopher Nkunku and Rafael Leao, who made the move to RB Leipzig and Galatasaray respectively.

However, there are concerns that some of the players cut from the project are still on their books.

There is said to be confidence that Youssouf Fofana can find a new destination, but the biggest problem is represented by Tomori.

What happened

Milan's hierarchy held a summit to map out the remainder of the transfer window, with the Serie A side aiming to add two more players before it closes. While the club continues to pursue reinforcements, striker Santiago Gimenez and defender Fikayo Tomori are reportedly unhappy with their roles and could seek moves away. Tomori has attracted interest from Premier League clubs, while Gimenez has struggled for consistent minutes since his arrival. The combination of incoming activity and outgoing tensions highlights a squad still being reshaped ahead of the new season.

Chance analysis

Milan's push for two more signings underlines the urgency in the transfer market as the club looks to close the gap on rivals Inter and Napoli in Serie A. Frustration from Gimenez and Tomori signals a squad imbalance that could become a problem if not managed carefully — losing depth up front and in central defence would undermine any new arrivals. For fans, the key question is whether Milan can integrate new faces while keeping a dressing room stable enough to compete on three fronts.

Impact

Milan's squad composition in attack and central defence could shift significantly before the window closes, with potential exits and new arrivals both on the table.
