According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, owner Gerry Cardinale held a video call with Amorim on Thursday as the Rossoneri continue their wide-ranging search for Massimiliano Allegri's replacement. Amorim's candidacy is described as "similar to Mauricio Pochettino's" — in the frame, but not leading.
The situation at San Siro remains fluid to the point of dysfunction. Milan have been in advanced talks with Glasner — the former Crystal Palace manager who won the Conference League, FA Cup and Community Shield — for several weeks.
According to Calciomercato, the club has reached a "soft agreement" with the Austrian on a two-year deal worth approximately €3.5 million net per season with an option for a third year. Despite that, no announcement has been made and the process continues.
The blockage sits above the coaching appointment. Cardinale's strategy requires naming a sporting director before confirming a head coach. Ralf Rangnick is the leading candidate for the sporting director role but has set an internal deadline for AC Milan's answer — with his Austria national team pushing for a contract extension before the World Cup begins. If Rangnick commits to Austria or rejects Milan's terms, the domino effect reshapes the entire coaching picture.
For Amorim, Milan would represent his first job since being sacked by Manchester United in January after just 13 months in charge. A Bola reported earlier this week that the 41-year-old intends to take a sabbatical year — but the Calciomercato report suggests that plan may be contingent on whether a genuinely attractive opportunity emerges.
The financial complexity is significant. Amorim's United contract remains active for another year at approximately €8 million per season — a figure that would need to be resolved either through a buyout or agreement before any move could be made. Taking the Milan role would require Amorim to accept substantially lower terms than his Old Trafford package.
Milan's coaching situation is not resolved. It has simply acquired another name.
