Milan Reject Approach as Arsenal Target €60m Alphadjo Cisse
AC Milan have slapped a €60m valuation on attacker Alphadjo Cisse following an initial approach from Brighton and Hove Albion. Arsenal are also actively tracking the forward after the Italian club knocked back Brighton’s early inquiry.
The 20-year-old Italian operates primarily as a forward and has rapidly grown his reputation since joining Milan in February 2026.

Brighton and Hove Albion made the first formal move with a verbal approach, while Arsenal are currently monitoring the situation alongside other English top-flight clubs.

clubAttacking Versatility in Milan’s Front Line
Cisse has established himself as a flexible forward capable of playing across the front line. His quick conversion rate in both domestic and European fixtures gives modern attacks an immediate goal thread inside the penalty area.
Squad Depth and Senior Lineup Competition
Any club pursuing Cisse would be bringing in a young forward capable of offering immediate depth across multiple attacking positions. His recent international recognition with Italy demonstrates his ability to step into competitive squad rotations without losing sharp execution in front of goal.
Market Growth Behind the €60m Transfer Fee
Milan originally bought Cisse from Hellas Verona for €8.4m before loaning him to Catanzaro to gain first-team minutes. His rapid rise in Serie A has pushed his transfer fee to €60m, setting a clear entry figure for any Premier League side seeking to formalize a deal. Tuttomercatoweb and Fabrizio Romano.
