By OnzeActu · · 7 min read
After a summer marked by a few purchases, Milan shows a real performance deficit under Amorim, both in defense and attack. Juventus and Inter continue their quest for stabilization, particularly in defense and at goalkeeper, while Napoli prepares the ground for the arrival of Gabriel Jesus, in likely exchange for Lukaku.
According to Tuttomercatoweb.
Context
Lukaku, although not directly involved in Milan's current struggles, could play a key role in upcoming transfer moves. If Napoli manage to finalize a swap deal with him, it could have significant implications for the balance of power in Serie A, particularly regarding the attacking capabilities of the teams involved.
Why it matters
Milan's current situation is worrying, as the team is struggling to regain its identity under Amorim's leadership. The deficiencies in defense and attack raise questions about the coach's ability to establish an effective system of play. In a championship as competitive as Serie A, these performances could have repercussions on the coming season.

Milan is experiencing a red alarm. This observation does not refer only to their heavy defeat in a friendly against Chelsea, but rather to a set of worrying signs observed on the pitch, both in terms of play and cohesion. The main question remains: where has Milan gone? Where has the attractive football expected with the arrival of Amorim gone? Nothing seems to be working today, neither in defense nor in attack. High pressing to recover the ball is absent, offensive transitions lack verticality and circulation of the ball is slow, often weighed down by too many unnecessary touches and players unable to adapt to the imposed playing principles.
We feel a lot of confusion, with several players struggling to understand the system or apply the instructions, particularly due to the constant changes in squad and too many experiments. The positioning of Loftus-Cheek behind the point appears unsuitable, and the defense, where De Winter and Gabbia are not yet at optimal level, is regularly put in difficulty. The midfielder relies almost exclusively on Modric, but the Croatian veteran will not be able to carry this team forever. Up front, Leao continues to produce his usual game, but he does not find the necessary support. The insistence on certain players such as Camarda, despite an often disorganized collective, could punish him in the long term.
For Amorim, the time for experiments has largely passed. He must now build a coherent group around his game project and choose his players, in consultation with management. The latter is also expected at the turning point to proceed with the sales of surplus players, in particular Fofana and Tomori, in order to clean up finances and free up the funds necessary for recruiting. A question remains about the freedom given to Amorim in terms of transfer window, while the previous purchases of Gonzalo Ramos and Gila seem isolated and insufficient, leaving the feeling of a worrying void after significant spending. Among the potential targets, defender Gonzalo Inacio from Sporting Lisbon and midfielder Hojbjerg from Olympique de Marseille are mentioned, but these options hardly attract attention.
On the Juventus side, the situation remains problematic, especially compared to Inter, who continue to show a more accomplished collective with a stable workforce. The Turin club must act, particularly at the goalkeeper position where Di Gregorio seems overwhelmed and incapable of handling the current pressure, requiring immediate investment to correct this crucial weak point. The Vicario and Suzuki alternatives do not fully convince either, and Trubin seems too expensive. The arrival of a high-performance goalkeeper therefore remains the absolute priority.

In defense, Juve also lacks a player capable of restarting cleanly and helping in the middle. Lucumi, currently in negotiations with Bologna, could meet this need. Furthermore, striker Zirkzee, whose profile does not completely correspond to a classic top scorer, could find his place as a support in a number 10 role, provided he finds a stable balance. The midfield also remains a headache, with Locatelli considered imprecise in managing tempos, Douglas Luiz efficient but slow to lose the ball, and Arthur who should no longer be experienced in this position. The arrival of a real manager is essential.
Inter is considered an already well-established team, but management must finalize its squad. The transfer window is complicated, in particular due to blockages on several files. Romero could leave for Atlético Madrid, Barcelona or Arsenal, but negotiations are slowed down by financial concerns and no major departure has yet been made.
Finally, Naples is preparing to sell before buying, with a probable exit of Lukaku, who wishes to leave the club. The Azzurri club hopes to recover a suitable sum from this operation to finance the acquisition of Gabriel Jesus, a 29-year-old Brazilian striker whose arrival is expected. Furthermore, Naples is also looking to strengthen its central defense and its right back, with tracks mentioned like Badiashile or Favasuli.
For its part, Fiorentina, revealed as the most active during the transfer window, after hiring Mastantuno, is now working to strengthen its attack, in particular with the arrival on loan of Piccoli following a loan with a purchase option of 18 million and the signing of Pellegrino as an alternative to Kean. The club will also be looking for a surprise but ambitious attacking winger to complete the package.
In summary, while some big Italian teams are displaying strong ambitions ahead of the imminent launch of the season, Milan and Amorim must imperatively find rapid solutions to straighten out the sporting trajectory, while Juventus, Inter and Napoli are optimizing their strategies to consolidate their competitiveness in a championship that is still just as demanding.

The rest
Milan must quickly find solutions to improve its performance, in particular by strengthening its squad. Other Serie A clubs, such as Juventus and Inter, are also looking to stabilize their teams, making the competition even fiercer. The potential arrival of Gabriel Jesus at Napoli, in exchange for Lukaku, could also shake up the transfer landscape and influence the dynamics of the league.
