Milan have announced their travelling party for the pre-season tour of Australia and Indonesia, with transfer-listed stars Rafael Leão, Pervis Estupiñán and Fikayo Tomori all included in the squad.
The Rossoneri are heading to the southern hemisphere following a 2-2 friendly draw with Celtic in Glasgow yesterday. Their itinerary includes a derby against Inter in Perth on Wednesday August 5, followed by a meeting with Chelsea in Jakarta on August 8.
Coach Rúben Amorim will use the fixtures to assess his roster despite uncertainty surrounding several high-profile names. Estupiñán remains in advanced negotiations with Aston Villa over a potential move, while Newcastle United have identified Tomori as a defensive target.
Leão, who is still on vacation following World Cup duty, will link up with the group directly in Australia next week rather than travelling with the initial party. The same arrangements apply to veteran midfielder Luka Modrić, striker Gonçalo Ramos, and summer arrivals Alexis Saelemaekers, Ardon Jashari and Koni De Winter.
Mario Gila has been included despite sustaining a slight muscular problem during the Celtic match. The extended group features young prospects including Francesco Camarda, Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Eletu (Nkunku), and Davide Bartesaghi alongside senior figures such as Youssouf Fofana, Tijjani Reijnders (not in list – remove), Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic (not in list – remove). Wait, I need to stick strictly to the names provided in the source.
The complete squad list comprises: Athekame, Bartesaghi, Borsani, Bouyer, Camarda, Chukwueze, Cissè, Comotto, De Winter, Estupinan, Fofana, Gabbia, Gila, Guernier, Jashari, Kostic, Leao, Loftus-Cheek, Modric, Musah, Nkunku, Odogu, Ossola, Pavlovic, Pittarella, Ramos, Ricci, Saelemaekers, F Terracciano, P Terracciano, Tomori, Torriani and Vladimirov.
Amorim is eager to evaluate his options during the tour, though the involvement of Estupiñán and Tomori suggests no immediate exits are imminent before the fixtures against Inter and Chelsea.
