AC Milan is adjusting its attacking setup under Ruben Amorim to unlock summer signing Gonçalo Ramos following an initial return of one goal in four Serie A appearances. The club seeks consistency to justify its substantial recruitment investment this season.
Ramos arrived from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee near €70m, placing immediate pressure on the Portuguese forward to deliver in the Scudetto race. Goal production has stalled. The striker managed 13 shots across fixtures against Venezia and Torino before service diminished sharply in recent outings. Indeed, he attempted just a single shot over his last two matches. This stark drop highlights an acute service problem rather than individual failure. Milan’s financial outlay also tests the club’s 70% Green Threshold under 2026 UEFA Squad Cost Ratio guidelines, heightening the urgency for immediate results.
Amorim is shifting emphasis toward the attacking unit behind his main target man. Youngster Alphadjo Cissé has impressed early on, whereas alternative options have delivered mixed performances. Christian Pulisic provided a prompt impact by recording an assist upon his return to the pitch. Meanwhile, physical midfielders Adrien Rabiot and Ruben Loftus-Cheek offer contrasting tactical profiles in advanced roles. Amorim is prepared to experiment further to find the right dynamic behind his central striker. The manager holds versatile wide players in reserve, with Alexis Saelemaekers, Omari Hutchinson, and Diego Moreira all presenting distinct creative avenues.
Finding the correct offensive balance remains essential as Serie A scoring standards rise, driven by Donyell Malen’s prolific early form elsewhere in the league. Milan retain total faith in Ramos. But high fixture density demands swift tactical solutions. The tactical adjustments made in the coming weeks will determine whether Amorim can ignite his frontline and sustain a credible title challenge.
