Milan prepares loan move for Athekame as Amorim reshapes squad

Summary

Zachary Athekame is set to join Olympique Lyon on loan as AC Milan's coach Ruben Amorim begins roster adjustments. Athekame had 27 appearances last season, contributing two goals and two assists. Meanwhile, Samuel Chukwueze has been tested in a wing-back role, and Milan is considering adding Zakaria El Ouahdi from Genk. Pervis Estupinan's future remains uncertain after a proposed move to Aston Villa was blocked for evaluation. Amorim might pursue Raphael Guerreiro, a free agent after his time at Bayern Munich, if further adjustments are made to the wing positions.
