After the overnight move for Jean-Philippe Mateta, it seems AC Milan are attempting to hijack another deal late in the window.
In case you missed the big news of the morning, Milan have moved ahead of Nottingham Forest in the race to sign Mateta from Crystal Palace. Personal terms have been agreed with the striker, and now a €30m transfer agreement is close, though he may not arrive until June.

Another hijack
According to the latest from Gianluca Di Marzio, Hellas Verona and PSV have reached an agreement for Alphadjo Cissè but Milan have also entered the negotiations for the teenager.
The Rossoneri have made an offer to Verona which includes the proposal to leave Cissè on loan until the end of the season at Catanzaro, where he has six goals in this first part of the season.
The Dutch club meanwhile had reached an agreement for a figure of around €8m, so it feels like that Milan would have to match that figure in order to successfully hijack the operation.
Milan were repeatedly linked with a move for Cissè during 2024, when various sources claimed that the Rossoneri management were ready to pursue a deal worth €5m+. Whether he would be a signing for the first team or Milan Futuro remains to be seen.
How about sign a CB or a Midfielder or A Left Side player instead
CB yea but we don’t need a Midfielder unless someone leaves. Jashari barely seeing the pitch as is and he was a massive signing.
This. Not sure why people keep asking for a midfielder when we have six, and two of them are new, young, and not getting enough time as is. Also confused about a “left side player”, since we have Bartesaghi and Estupinan in defense, and Leao/Pulisic/Nkunku in attack.
Because all the midfielders do the same thing. That’s why the 2 new young midfielders don’t get enough time.
Milan needs a different profile of a midfielder.
Because two of them are hugely inconsistent and combined together still make one incomplete box-to-box player… I’ll let you guess who those are.
He looks really exciting. Let’s be honest though PSV would be better for his career.
