AC Milan have rejected an offer from Brighton & Hove Albion for talented Italian forward Alphadjo Cisse and are now planning to offer him a new contract with improved terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young footballer, who turned 20 just last month, has emerged as one of the biggest discoveries of the season, scoring eight goals in just 13 appearances in Serie A and the Europa League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His impressive performances have also earned him his first call-up to the senior Italy national team for the upcoming Nations League matches against France and Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Matteo Moretto, speaking on journalist Fabrizio Romano’s Italian YouTube channel, as well as reports from Calciomercato, Brighton had already submitted a verbal offer to sign Cisse during the January transfer window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, AC Milan immediately rejected the proposal, as the club’s hierarchy firmly believe in the player’s enormous potential and have no intention of letting him go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, the Italian giants are looking to renew his contract with significantly improved financial terms, ensuring that the new deal reflects his performances and growing importance to the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cisse is a product of Hellas Verona’s academy, from where AC Milan signed him in February 2026 for \u20ac8.4 million, plus bonuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, following the transfer, he was allowed to finish that season in Serie B, where he was on loan at Catanzaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His current contract with AC Milan runs until June 2030. The new agreement is not necessarily expected to involve a significant extension of its duration, but it will include a substantial salary increase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
