Milan Prepare Renewal for Starlet After Brighton Links

Milan and Ruben Amorim have been rewarded for trusting Alphadjo Cisse and rejecting the offers for him last summer. Brighton have shown interest lately, but the Rossoneri have every intention of keeping the starlet and want to extend his contract, Matteo Moretto reports (via Tribuna).

PSV targeted the talent last summer, and he had a host of opportunities to leave on loan. However, the coach insisted on keeping him in the squad while they were dealing with a few injuries and late returns after the World Cup. He’s been an integral part of the rotation.

Cisse leads Milan in scoring, having hit the net 8 times in 13 matches, thanks to a hat-trick against RB Salzburg and a brace versus Bologna. He’s already under contract until 2030. However, the plan is to quickly reward him for his growth. He’ll likely debut with Italy in the upcoming UEFA Nations League contests.

The Rossoneri are reaping the rewards of a gamble by their ousted director, Igli Tare, in this case. He snapped up the starlet from Verona for €8M when he was still in the youth academy. He got off to a great start at Catanzaro in 2025/2026 too. Though, his season was cut short by a serious thigh injury.

He has produced at every level, but his acquisition looked like just a way to help Verona financially at the time, as he wasn’t worth that price tag. Instead, it turned out to be a great forward-thinking investment that should inform other teams as well, rather than constantly searching for short-term improvements. He’s not going anywhere, and his chemistry and compatibility with their big dogs are quickly improving.
