"AC Milan appear to have landed some quick revenge on Barcelona as they are closing in on the signing of El Hadji Malick Cissé. After being one step away from joining Milan, it emerged on Friday that Barcelona are going to win the race to sign Juwensley Onstein from Genk. They swooped right as the Rossoneri were ready to exchange documents, and so they missed out on a talent."
"Cissé would inevitably start playing with Milan Futuro in Serie D, but the acquisition should be viewed in the medium to long-term. The idea is for him to gradually adapt to European football, but starts with a big frame at 1.85m tall. Another fun fact: Cissé was a penalty taker with Senegal, and on his Instagram profile you can find a video of him taking a penalty à la Pogba: with small, very slow steps approaching the ball."
AC Milan are closing in on the signing of El Hadji Malick Cissé, a Senegalese central defender born in 2008 who featured at the Under-17 World Cup in Qatar. Barcelona already beat Milan to Juwensley Onstein, prompting a quick alternative move. Cissé currently plays for Be Sport Academy in Senegal and has attracted interest from Barcelona and RB Leipzig. Milan would register him as one of two non-EU players and initially place him with Milan Futuro in Serie D. The acquisition is a medium-to-long-term plan to help Cissé adapt to European football; he measures 1.85m and is noted for penalty-taking like Pogba.
