Milan eyes young midfielder Alphadjo Cissè after standout Glasgow friendly
Alphadjo Cissè, a 19‑year‑old midfielder born in Treviso and developed at Verona, has attracted attention from AC Milan after a strong showing in the club's preseason friendly in Glasgow. The former Catanzaro loanee, who missed six months with a muscle injury, impressed coach Stefano Amorim with his technical ability and offensive instincts, prompting speculation that he could feature prominently in Milan’s new midfield setup. Amorim is reportedly considering a role for Cissè as a creative "10" alongside other youth prospects such as Comotto and Camarda, who have also secured contract extensions.
The club is expected to decide whether to integrate Cissè into the first‑team squad for the upcoming season, potentially preferring him over more established options like Declan Loftus‑Cheek. His performance suggests he may be ready for a breakthrough in Serie A.
