Milan Transfer Market: Cisse in the Spotlight—Two Official Offers from the Premier League

Eight goals with Milan and now a call-up to Roberto Mancini’s national team. Alphadjo Cisse is having a magical run in this first part of the season and has inevitably caught the attention of several European clubs, especially in the Premier League.

According to rumors reported by tuttomercatoweb, two English clubs, including Brighton, have already made very substantial offers for the Treviso-born forward, who currently earns about 800,000 euros a year at Milan. The offers were promptly rejected: Ruben Amorim, having confirmed him in the summer, is increasingly convinced of his qualities and has given the green light to a contract extension to secure the player. The Rossoneri aim to extend the deal through 2030, doubling his salary.

In an interview with *Cronache di Spogliatoio*, Cisse spoke about his experience with the Rossoneri: “Even after my hat trick in the Europa League, I have to say that everything was already clear to me: it was simply confirmation to myself that I belong at this level. I didn’t see it as a destination, but as a promise kept to the child I once was. And above all, as a promise I still need to keep. Even though I was coming off a long injury, even though I’m young and have to improve in so many areas, I’ve never had any doubts about my qualities or how far I could go.”

“In recent months, my life has changed a great deal—perhaps more than I can even realize yet. There are moments when I stop and think about how different everything is compared to just a short time ago. Soccer is taking me to places I used to dream of, but deep down, I’m still the same kid. But I know what my ambitions are. And maybe that’s exactly what helps me stay true to myself, even when everything changes. I try to enjoy every moment, without forgetting where I started and all the people who’ve been with me along the way.”
