AC Milan must strengthen its squad during the January transfer window after a 3–1 defeat to Ferencváros in the Europa League.
The Rossoneri sit under pressure as they prepare for domestic and European fixtures, with club leadership examining potential additions to patch a short roster.
Corriere della Sera noted that owner Gerry Cardinale expressed deep frustration over the European setback, which will cost the club between three and four million euros in compensation to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Amorim delivered a blunt assessment to his players in the wake of the loss, stating that anyone wearing the Milan shirt carries a heavy responsibility.
“If you indossi la maglia del Milan, you have a responsibility and you cannot play like this,” Amorim told reporters after the match, according to Corriere della Sera.
The defensive department remains a primary concern for the technical staff due to ongoing injuries and lack of specialized cover.
Sportmediaset highlighted that Strahinja Pavlović missed recent sessions, forcing Filippo Terracciano to play out of position as a central defender during the second half against Genoa at Marassi.
Corriere della Sera added that Sporting CP defender Gonçalo Inácio and Union Saint-Gilloise center-back Ousmane Sylla are on the shortlist for the winter window.
Meanwhile, defender Koni De Winter declined a call-up from Belgium national team manager Mark van Bommel after sitting out during the October international break.
The wide areas present opposing tactical problems on either side of the pitch for the Milan coaching staff.
Sportmediaset observed that while the left flank features sufficient personnel who lack consistent form, the right side suffers from a complete absence of a natural full-back.
Samuel Chukwueze’s injury has further compounded those difficulties, leaving the management searching for at least two wide players in January.
Up front, the club is searching for a reliable deputy to Gonçalo Ramos, who has struggled to find the back of the net consistently.
Calciomercato noted that young forward Cisse has carried the goalscoring burden instead, netting eight goals across all competitions and scoring once every eighty minutes.
Cisse provided decisive contributions at Marassi, while Ramos created space for his teammates and delivered an assist to Christian Pulisic.
Francesco Camarda has seen limited playing time under Amorim, and Corriere della Sera reported that the club is weighing a loan move to help the young striker gain regular minutes.
In attacking reinforcements, Club Brugge forward Nicolò Tresoldi remains a long-term target, though a permanent deal appears more likely for the summer.
Amorim continues to lean on veteran midfielder Luka Modrić, who at age 41 remains a steady presence in the squad despite the surrounding turbulence.
AC Milan returns to training at Milanello to prepare for their upcoming Serie A fixtures as club executives finalize their January shortlist.
Further updates on player availability and transfer negotiations are expected from the club ahead of the winter window.
