PM: Hojbjerg still an option for Milan – January move possible thanks to €15m price tag

By: Ben Dixon

AC Milan are reportedly interested in making a move for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg when the January mercato opens, it seems.

There have been suggestions about a move for Hojbjerg for some time, and Milan could attempt a move in January, especially if Christian Comotto departs on loan. The Dane, according to PianetaMilan, is still an option for January if another midfielder is to arrive.

Of course, Luka Modric’s likely retirement at the end of the season will give the Rossoneri time to think about his replacement, or even replacements, and Hojbjerg could be a new tool for Ruben Amorim.

His contract with Marseille runs until the summer of 2028, so his value is only dropping, especially as he gets older. So, a bid of €15 million could be enough to land him.

The Diavolo have already been successful when it comes to recruiting from Ligue 1, look at the example of Adrien Rabiot and whilst they’re not the same, there are similarities. For example, the Dane got nine goal contributions last season.

It’s hardly his attacking work that is tempting Milan, though. Instead, his experience and quality would be welcomed, as would his physicality and reading of the game. He’d be suitable in a two or three-man midfield and he’s a new profile for Amorim. It makes complete sense why the interest is there.
