Reports: Cisse ‘extremely happy’ at Milan despite Premier League calls – new contract ready

By: Oliver Fisher

Alphadjo Cisse is generating interest from the Premier League after his excellent start to the season, but AC Milan already have a plan in response.

Cisse continued his trend of being in the right place at the right time when he scored Milan’s opening goal in the 2-1 win over Genoa yesterday. The winger made a run to the penalty spot and was found by Adrien Rabiot’s cut-back, providing a precise first-time finish for his eighth goal of the season.

According to Nicolo Schira, two Premier League clubs have already asked for information on Cisse. However, he is considered non-transferable by the Rossoneri, who in turn are readying a contract extension with a significant increase in salary.

In a previous update late last month, Schira had reported that the 20-year-old is getting closer to extending his contract with Milan until 2031 plus a one-year option. His pay will go from €750k net per season to around €1.8m, as a reward for his remarkable start with the Rossoneri.

Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano also confirmed what the plan is for Cisse. He confirmed that a new deal will be tabled to a player just 13 games into his Milan career but is already matching some of the greats with his numbers.

“From a contract perspective, let’s not forget Alpha Cisse’s. This boy is very young, but he continues to score with great consistency, and AC Milan has also taken his contract renewal into account, which, it must be said, is not an urgent matter to be done tomorrow morning because otherwise you’ll lose the boy,” he said (via MilanNews).

“Cisse is extremely happy at Milan. He was the Rossoneri’s intuition, and they’re enjoying having the boy. Credit must be given to Moncada, who wanted to bet on him, who wanted to believe in him, as did the club.

“Now his contract is one that needs to be monitored because Milan want to renew it, Milan wants to start a dialogue, I repeat, without rushing, without rushing, but in the meantime, another goal from Cissé has arrived, once again the face of this good, talented Italian is on Milan’s victory.”
