Ruben Amorim is reportedly on the verge of assuming the head coach position at Milan after rejecting proposals from Benfica and a Saudi Arabian club. Glorioso 1904 reports that he opted to await the Italian club’s offer.

Amorim prioritized Milan’s project over other recent opportunities, including the Lisbon-based team and a financially attractive Saudi offer. This decision has led to advanced discussions with the Rossoneri.

Sources indicate that negotiations with Milan are nearly concluded, with a contract expected to span two seasons until 2028, including an option to extend through 2029.

The former Benfica player is anticipated to receive a net annual salary of 3.5 million euros at Milan, supplemented by bonuses tied to winning trophies and qualifying for the Champions League.
