"In the final days of the January window, AC Milan secured the promising Serie B talent Alphadjo Cissè, a signing that Peppe Di Stefano believes is reminiscent of the old Milan. The transfer was announced on the final day of the window and in the statement, it was confirmed that the attacking midfielder would remain at Catanzaro on loan. Then, in the summer, he will be at Massimiliano Alleghri's disposal at least for the pre-season."
"At the age of 19 and with a price tag of around €8m plus bonuses, it's a signing that has excited many Milan fans. The fact that the Rossoneri had been following him for a long time also says a lot, with the scouts clearly seeing something good. In our exclusive interview with Sky Italia's Peppe Di Stefano, which was published yesterday, we asked about Cissè's arrival and what it might mean for Milan."
AC Milan completed the signing of 19-year-old Alphadjo Cissé from Serie B, paying around €8m plus bonuses and immediately loaning him back to Catanzaro for the remainder of the season. The player will join Massimiliano Allegri's squad for pre-season to allow assessment of his readiness for first-team involvement. Scouts tracked Cissé for an extended period, identifying his goal-scoring depth and physical, attacking qualities as distinguishing traits. The club intends to develop him gradually, potentially using additional loan time if necessary. The recruitment follows a traditional Milan approach of acquiring promising youngsters who may either break into the first team or be sold later.
