AC Milan is preparing a major offensive in the transfer market, and under the management of Ruben Amorim, two players from Sporting have already been identified as priority targets. The news comes as a shock in Alvalade and promises to stir up the European football summer, with the Milanese showing ambition and betting on a direct connection between the new Portuguese coach and his former protégés.
According to information provided by renowned journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Amorim intends to secure the signing of Trincão and Morten Hjulmand, two key players in the national champion Sporting. The interest in Hjulmand is not, in fact, new: the Danish midfielder had already been linked to the Portuguese coach during the failed negotiations with Manchester United. Now, with Amorim at the helm of the Italian giant, the possibility of a move to San Siro takes on a new dimension. Trincão, on the other hand, is seen as a winger capable of establishing himself in a more competitive league, after regaining his best form under the Portuguese coach. It is also worth mentioning that, despite speculation surrounding Pedro Gonçalves as a potential target, the name of the Portuguese international is not currently among the priorities of the Rossoneri.
This move by Milan is particularly relevant at a time when the club is trying to consolidate its sporting structure, following a season that fell below expectations in Serie A. The arrival of Ruben Amorim, recognized for his innovative work in Portugal and his ability to develop young talents, represents a clear commitment to renewal and the construction of a more cohesive and competitive squad. If he can bring in two of his trusted men, Amorim could accelerate the implementation of his ideas and ensure a solid foundation to challenge for the Italian title and European competitions.
The direct influence of Amorim on market decisions has been a topic of debate in Italy. Di Marzio himself emphasizes that, “although the coach has an important say in signings, a club the size of Milan cannot rely solely on the coach’s vision.” This view is shared by several commentators, who warn of the risks of overly emotional decisions or those based on personal connections, to the detriment of sporting and financial rationality. It is also noted that both Trincão and Hjulmand will not leave Alvalade easily, with Sporting demanding high fees for their players: it is estimated that the transfer of the Danish midfielder could reach 45 million euros, which will require Milan to carefully consider the investment.
In the corridors of Alvalade, the atmosphere is one of expectation and some apprehension. Hjulmand has already said goodbye to his teammates, according to recent reports, which further fuels rumors of an imminent transfer. The player himself stated, after the last match of the season: “Sporting will always be in my heart, but all players aspire to new challenges.” Trincão, for his part, remains discreet, but close sources admit that he views the possibility of returning to a top league favorably, following his quiet stint at Barcelona and resurgence in Lisbon.
The immediate future of Milan now hinges on a detailed assessment of the current squad, with Amorim wanting to understand how the available players fit into his preferred system, the 3-4-2-1. Only after this in-depth analysis will definitive decisions be made regarding the approach to the transfer market. Should these signings be confirmed, Sporting will need to find suitable alternatives, with several names already being suggested to cover potential departures, particularly in midfield.
If these deals materialize, the impact will be significant both for Sporting, which will lose two of its biggest assets, and for Milan, which could benefit from a smoother transition into the new cycle led by Amorim. The coming days will be crucial, and should there be any progress, a true media saga is expected until the market closes. What is certain is that the connection between Alvalade and San Siro has never been so intense — and fans of both clubs will follow every development closely.
